I thought it was better to get chickenpox in childhood rather than later. "Within two weeks, Uday started to break out with the rash, which was on his head, ears, eyelids, lips, practically everywhere! The sores were itchy and caused him great discomfort. Some of the pocks became infected. "Uday's chickenpox was gone in two weeks, but at five years, he still has scars. The doctor says most of them will eventually clear up. But I will never forget the harrowing experience." Sounds familiar? Every parent goes through the motions when their child is affected by chickenpox.

Chickenpox is highly contagious but for the majority of children it is a mild disease characterized by small round lesions on the skin that cause intense itching. It lasts from two to three weeks and recovery from the disease usually gives permanent immunity to it. Half of all cases occur in children between the ages of 5 and 9. It has been estimated that only 10 percent of Americans over the age of 15 have never had chickenpox. Can Chickenpox Cause Injury and Death?

Extractions: WHAT ARE SHINGLES AND CHICKENPOX (VARICELLA-ZOSTER VIRUS)? Varicella-Zoster Virus Shingles and chickenpox were once considered separate disorders. It is now known that they are both caused by a single virus of the herpes family known as varicella-zoster virus (VZV). The word herpes is derived from the Greek word "herpein," which means "to creep," a reference to a characteristic pattern of skin eruptions. VZV is still referred to by separate terms: Herpes zoster: the reactivation of the virus that causes shingles. Varicella (Chicken Pox). When patients with chickenpox cough or sneeze, they expel tiny droplets that carry the virus, which in this early form is referred to as varicella viru s. If a person who has never had chickenpox or been vaccinated inhales these particles, the virus enters the lungs. From here it passes into the blood stream. When it is carried to the skin it produces the typical rash of chickenpox.

Extractions: Also, new - Article on Whooping Cough When I was a child, chickenpox was universally understood to be a generally benign disease in otherwise healthy children. Every spring, chickenpox would wash through the younger grades at my elementary school, and initiate a new group of kids. Most of us remember the disease for its horrendous itching and the occasional scar, but I don't remember any of us fearing it. I grew up accepting Chickenpox as a fact of life, and a normal passage of childhood like skinning your knees. My college textbook, Microbiology, by Davis, Dulbecco et al, describes the varicella-zoster virus as being part of a large family of viruses, known as the "Herpesviruses." This family includes the well-known herpes simplex viruses which cause fever blisters, Epstein-Barr virus (causes mononucleosis) and cytomegalovirus. One of the main characteristics of this family of viruses is their ability after primary infection to insert their viral DNA into a person's DNA and remain there in a latent form indefinitely. In the case of chickenpox, this is thought to explain how a person who had chickenpox as a child, can then develop shingles as an adult, in response to certain environmental stresses which may cause the virus DNA to un-insert itself from the host DNA and start replicating itself. Sometime around 1995 a vaccine for chickenpox became available. It is a live-virus vaccine. Typically live-virus vaccines are made by growing the wild -type virus in ways that alter its ability to cause the disease. In essence it is similar to the natural virus, and capable of reproducing once inside the body, but is supposed to be less likely to actually cause the disease itself. However just because the symptoms are reduced does not necessarily mean that it is not causing harm inside the body. Their are many examples of infections that can silently damage organs, and not be discovered until many years later.
CHICKENPOX AND THE CHICKENPOX VACCINE
Chickenpox is highly contagious and very common, with a secondary attack rate in households What are the complications of chickenpox in normal children?
http://www.utoronto.ca/kids/varicela.htm

Extractions: by Dr. Moshe Ipp How common is chickenpox? Chickenpox is highly contagious and very common, with a secondary attack rate in households of 85 - 90%. It is primarily a disease of young children and is most common in school aged children between 5 and 9 years of age when approximately 50% of cases occur. Only 10% of cases occur in adolescents older than 15 years of age and it is estimated that 95% of people have been infected by 30 years of age. What are the complications of chickenpox in normal children? The most common complication of chickenpox is secondary bacterial infection with Group A Streptococcus Pyogenes and Staphylococcus Aureus that occurs in 5 to 10% of children. Bacterial infection should be suspected whenever redness and swelling occur around a pox lesion that is enlarged in size. Because cellulitis may follow a local infection, prompt empirical therapy with oral antibiotics such as cloxacillin or cephalexin is indicated. Otitis media may also complicate chickenpox and has been reported to occur in about 5% of children. More serious complications of chickenpox are rare and hospitalization is indicated in only 1 in 5,000 cases. Severe complications include pneumonia, encephalitis, cerebellar ataxia, Reye's syndrome, Guillain - Barre syndrome, nephritis, carditis, arthritis, orchitis, uveitis, thrombocytopenia, hemorrhagic chicken pox and purpura fulminans.

Dr. Jane Seward, from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, and colleagues reported on their investigation of a recent outbreak of chickenpox at a New Hampshire day care center. The outbreak in 23 children began with a child who had been vaccinated, contradicting the belief that such "breakthrough" cases are not contagious, Dr. Seward noted. The child, a 4-year-old, was confirmed not to have developed chickenpox infection from the vaccine, but probably developed it after exposure to a sibling with shingles. Previous findings indicate that the vaccine's effectiveness ranges from 71% to 91%.

http://www.chclibrary.org/micromed/00042360.html

Extractions: Chickenpox (also called varicella) is a common and extremely infectious childhood disease that also affects adults on occasion. It produces an itchy, blistery rash that typically lasts about a week and is sometimes accompanied by a fever or other symptoms. A single attack of chickenpox almost always confers lifelong immunity against the disease. Because the symptoms of chickenpox are easily recognized and in most cases merely unpleasant rather than dangerous, treatment can almost always be carried out at home. Severe complications can develop, however, and professional medical attention is essential in some circumstances. Description About four million Americans contract chickenpox each year, resulting in roughly 5,000-9,000 hospitalizations and 100 deaths . Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus (a member of the herpes virus family), which is spread through the air or by direct contact with an infected person. Once someone has been infected with the virus, an incubation period of about 10-21 days passes before symptoms begin. The period during which infected people are able to spread the disease is believed to start one or two days before the rash breaks out and to continue until all the blisters have formed scabs, which usually happens 4-7 days after the rash breaks out but may be longer in adolescents and adults. For this reason, doctors recommend keeping children with chickenpox away from school for about a week. It is not necessary, however, to wait until all the scabs have fallen off.

A pregnant woman who contracts the disease can transmit the virus to her fetus. Chickenpox cannot be transmitted by contact with dry surfaces.
