Chickenpox is caused by a virus called varicella zoster virus. It is a common, very contagious viral infection that over ninety percent of people get during childhood unless they have been immunised. Most children who get chickenpox have a mild illness, but some can become quite ill. Adults who get chickenpox usually have a more severe illness. The illness with chickenpox usually lasts about seven to ten days. The illness may start with a fever and feeling unwell, like having a cold. In some children the first sign of the infection is the rash.
The rash usually starts on the chest, and most spots appear on the chest and head, although some children and adults can have spots all over the body. The spots start as red, itchy lumps, which then become blisters. The top comes off of the blister and watery fluid escapes. Then a crust forms on the spot. This crust takes about five days to fall off. The spots often come in waves for several days so that there will be new lumps, blisters and crusting sores on the skin at the same time. Chickenpox is very contagious and thus easy to catch.
The infection is spread when the person sneezes or coughs, or when someone touches the fluid in the blisters. It can also be spread by touching something that has touched the fluid from the blisters. Chickenpox can be caught from the fluid in the blisters of someone with shingles, though this is rare. The person with chickenpox is contagious from the beginning of the illness until about five days after the first spots appear. So long as there are no new blisters or moist crusts on spots, the person will not be contagious even if there are still crusts on the skin.
Over ninety percent of close contacts will get chickenpox if they have not already had it or not been immunised. Chickenpox usually takes around fourteen to fifteen days to develop after contact with someone who has it. After an infection, some of the virus may stay in the body and at some later time the virus can become active again causing shingles. A child should be kept at home for five days after the first spots appear, or until all blisters are dry if this takes longer. Some scabs will still be there but as long as they are dry the child does not need to be kept out of school.
For most children chickenpox is a mild illness, however some can have spots over the whole body, including in the mouth and in the genital area. They may have encephalitis, infection of the brain. They may be quite unwell from this, but will usually recover fully. The spots are very itchy, and scratching can cause a bacterial infection. An infected spot is more likely to leave a scar. The spots are very itchy. Expecting children not to scratch is usually too much to ask of them. A vaccine is now available to protect children and adults against chickenpox.
Adults usually have a more severe illness, and a few get pneumonia, and some will die from the infection. This is rare, about three people in 100,000 healthy people with the infection die from it. Chickenpox can be a fatal illness for people who have immune problems, such as with HIV/AIDS, treatment for severe asthma or cancer. All these people need to be seen by a doctor urgently if they are in contact with chickenpox. There is a treatment which will protect them from the severe effects of the infection if they get the treatment soon after coming in contact with it.
