Chickenpox

Your body has the ability to tackle most diseases. If you are given a small amount of a germ, your body can fight it and will teach itself how to protect itself if you are hit a by a full-blown attack.

When you get a vaccination they put in a dead or weakened pathogen (a bad germ that makes you sick) in your blood stream. This vaccination tricks your immune system (the system that fights off germs) into thinking that you are sick. So it sends out antibodies (the things that fight off germs), and once they're made they stay in there forever therefore keeping you from getting sick.

HIV is an RNA-virus. It does not contain DNA.

Chickenpox vaccine on a US immunization card may be listed as VZV, VAR, VARIVAX, or PROQUAD.

All chickenpox are contagious...there is only one kind...

Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) causes both chickenpox and shingles. The VZV is a member of the family of herpes viruses, as are Epstein Barr virus (causing infectious mononucleosis, or "mono") and Herpes simplex (causing cold sores).

Chickenpox is the initial presentation, and is usually a childhood infection that is short lived and self-limiting. It is a highly contagious airborne disease (spread easily through coughing or sneezing of infected individuals), but can also be spread by direct contact with secretions from the rash. It can also be passed along by exposure to the rash of a person with shingles.

A person with chickenpox is infectious one to two days before the rash appears, and remain contagious until all lesions have crusted over (this takes approximately six days). Crusted lesions are not infectious.

Chickenpox seldom causes scarring, yet when it does, the scars most often occur around the eyes and consist of a small depression. Chickenpox lesions can become infected, usually from scratching and most frequently with bacteria called Staphylococcus.

In adults, the disease is more severe, and can cause pneumonia, hepatitis,and encephalitis.In particular, up to 10% of pregnant women with chickenpox develop pneumonia, and the infection can casue deformities in their fetuses.Varicella can be lethal to adults with impaired immunity.

Like many other herpes viruses, it usually stays in the body for life, but remains latent in the spinal nerve roots; it can reactivate in later life, to produce a painful rash called shingles.

Mild means not very severe or serious.

There is no special medical term for a mild case of chickenpox. Shingles is the term for a recurrence of chickenpox that is usually covering a small area of the body; however, the symptoms may be different and, in some ways, more severe. Shingles isn't considered a milder version of chickenpox.

Yes. Since Chicken Pox is contagious, the primary way to get it is from being exposed to someone else who currently has it - whether that be a child or an adult.

A positive varicella zoster virus IgG is evidence of immunity to chickenpox, whether from prior disease or from vaccination.

Varicella Zoster Titer CPT code 86787

Absolutely. Chicken-pox is very contagious, especially during the first 2 to 5 days.

Both animals and penicillin are unrelated to chickenpox. Animals do not get chickenpox, other than humans and a few primates. Penicillin does not cause or cure chickenpox.

Yes, it's possible that varicella titer is positive, and then negative. The CDC does not recommend revaccination in this case.

just wash, after 2-3 day should be gone violet colour

No it doesnt hurt when they come, Its just like fly bites coming on you but then it gets very very ichy once you scrach them too much they will get very tender and start to hurt, Also the more you scrach they will scar

Current technologies used to treat chickenpox include antiviral medications such as acyclovir, and varicella immunoglobulin.

There is no benefit to bringing out more chickenpox spots, and increased temperature may make you more itchy.

clean the cut with some anti-bacterial ointment,that's all you need to do

try to net get them infected

Chickenpox may start out seeming like a cold: You might have a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, and a cough. But 1 to 2 days later, the rash begins, often in bunches of spots on the chest and face. From there it can spread out quickly over the entire body - sometimes the rash is even in a person's ears and mouth.

Yes, you can get chickenpox from someone of any blood type.

Chickenpox is caused by a virus. Viruses, strictly speaking, are not cellular and are not alive, but some people call them microorganisms nevertheless.

The Nursing interventions for chickenpox would include increasing fluid intake, good diet, ensuring that medications should be taken and that the patient is isolated to prevent spread to other patients. There should also be full bed rest due to the body malaise and no scratching (either mitting the patient or providing a cool environment and light clothes to help let lesions dry)

Babies do not develop shingles before chicken pox. Vise verse is true.

On some patients, the lesions can turn black when scabbed due to dried blood.
