Chickenpox was one of several infectious diseases spreading throughout the armies. Tens of thousands of soldiers were hospitalized or died due to smallpox, pneumonia, measles, and chickenpox.

No, cytomegalovirus is a separate virus from Varicella Zoster virus (the one that causes chickenpox) and herpes simplex virus (which causes genital herpes and cold sores and related illnesses). It is possible to have all three at the same time, but they are separate viruses and if you have herpes or have had the chickenpox, it does not mean that you are CMV positive.

There are no dietary restrictions when you have chickenpox. You can eat what you like.

Aspirin should not be given to children at all, except on the advice of your health care provider, due to the possibility of developing Reye's syndrome, a rare but deadly illness that can affect the liver and brain. This is most likely to happen in conjunction with or immediately after a viral infection, such as a cold, flu, chickenpox and so forth. Acetaminophen or ibuprofen should be given instead for control of fever and discomfort.

Varicella syndrome in a newborn is characterized by abnormally small limbs and head; scarring of the skin; eye defects; and, mental retardation.

Chickenpox bumps can be anywhere from the size of the head of a pine to the size of a dime.

You cannot stop chickenpox instantly, you just have to wait. See, the bumps from chickenpox actually protect your body from harmful bacteria in your body. There is a fight going on in your body between the anitbodies and bad germs. When the anitbodies win, the bumps go away. So be patient, think of it as a war, because you can't control when wars end. But if you feel the chickenpox lasted to long, check up with the doctor immediately.

Medical science at that time was not even 1/100th of what it is now. People did not know medicines or cure to numerous diseases. With the advent of powerful vaccines man is now able to protect himself from dangerous diseases. Unfortunately this wasn't the case 100 years ago. That is why people died from so many diseases those days

yes shingles virus can be passed to other. Chicken pox and shingle bears the same virus. And person taking care of shingle patient can get chicken pox and even people around the shingles person can have much chances of having chickenpox

Chicken pox has not been eradicated from the world as of 2013. However, there is a vaccine that has become popular in the past ten years to help prevent children from getting chicken pox. Once a person has had chicken pox they will most likely never get it again.

Water does not make chickenpox worse. It is important to maintain good hygiene and daily cleaning of skin with warm water to avoid secondary bacterial infection. Heat and sweat can induce discomfort and exacerbate the itching caused by the chicken pox. Try keeping the infected person in a cool area, and use cool, wet compresses to help relieve itching.

Hand foot and mouth disease is caused by coxsackie virus, and chickenpox is caused by varicella zoster virus. They are different diseases with different causes, and you can't get one from the other.

Antibodies for measles don't work against chickenpox virus because antibody for measles virus can not bind to chickenpox virus. Antibody for a specific antigen should have a shape and structure that is able to fit into this virus. Then it will be able to inhibit the activity of this virus.

When a measles vaccine is inserted inside human body, or when someone has measles, the T type lymphocytes (White Blood Cells) detect the type of viruses and then B type lymphocytes produce the antibodies against this specific type of virus. If viruses of the vaccine are alive they will reproduce themselves inside the human body and the number of antibodies against them also increases. Antibodies bind to these viruses and destroy them. Now the virus (of specific disease which needs prevention) which was in the vaccine have been destroyed but the antibodies against this disease viruses are still there and they prevent from the actual disease causing viruses.

Antibodies are specific: An infection with the measles virus means that the person makes antibodies only against measles. It doesn't make any antibodies against chickenpox too.

Chickenpox vaccine is not intramuscular. It is a subcutaneous vaccine.

Chickenpox affected history by killing off a large number of people. This occurred before a vaccine was invented to prevent the disease from occurring in humans.
