Surfnetkids Journal : Chicken Pox Again? Main June 22, 2004 Chicken Pox Again? Still no news on a new date for the surgery. Thank you again for all the warm wishes and prayers. They really meant a lot to me. One reader asked if I minded the prayers of "someone who wasn't Jewish." So let me clearly state my policy. I accept prayers from anyone (and everyone) with good intentions. Just to add more madness to the mix, my daughter came down with chicken pox the week before school ended. And I thought she had it when she was little! I must have mis-diagnosed it the first time, because there was NO doubt this time around. She had a pretty bad case. Oh well. I guess that's why no one comes to me for medical advice. Comments (0) Post a Comment Thanks for signing in, document.write(commenter_name); . Now you can comment.

Ashbridge Staff Writer Besides pencils, notebooks and backpacks, students entering sixth grade next month must have something else to attend school: proof they have been immunized against chicken pox. Kilmer said two school nurses have called her to say parents haven’t turned in proof yet. "I don’t think parents realize this is really going to happen," she said. State public health law requires that students born on or after Jan. 1, 1994, and who are enrolling in the sixth grade in 2005, mu Advertisement st be immunized against chicken pox. That immunization can come from having had the disease or getting the vaccine. Schools have had information on the law since this spring, Kilmer said. She said the health department has offered many opportunities to vaccinate children. "I think it’s going to be fine," Scheiner said. "Most of the parents have been made well aware.

Now, recently at age 75 I had a small outbreak. I understand that the virus that causes chickenpox remains in your body and can be reactivated from time to time. Nearly everyone has chickenpox as a child, so wouldn't everyone have this virus? Are cold sores the same herpes virus? How can I get rid of this virus? Is there an antibiotic I can take for this? What causes these outbreaks? Stress? Citrus fruits? A: The chicken pox virus is in the same family as the cold sore virus (herpes simplex, but is a different virus (varicella) altogether. Stress, excess alcohol, poor nutrition, lack of sleep, and certain foods that are high in arginine (nuts, chocolate, popcorn) may trigger the virus. Taking 500 mg a day of lysine may prevent outbreaks. Acyclovir, an antiviral medicine, taken as a single 800 mg pill or applied as a cream at the first onset of tingling may prevent their eruption or hasten healing of the sores.

Office of Disease Prevention - 605-773-3737 in South Dakota only) CHICKENPOX (This material is provided for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for medical care. Direct specific questions to your medical provider.) What is chickenpox? Chickenpox is a highly contagious disease caused by the Varicella zoster virus, a member of the herpes virus family. Who gets chickenpox? Almost everyone gets chickenpox by adulthood (more than 95% of Americans). The greatest number of cases of chickenpox occurs in the late winter and spring. How is chickenpox spread? Chickenpox is transmitted to others by direct person-to-person contact, by droplet or airborne spread of discharges from an infected person's nose and throat or indirectly through articles freshly soiled by discharges from the infected person's lesions. The scabs themselves are not considered infectious. What are the symptoms of chickenpox? The first symptoms include a slight fever, and feeling tired and weak. An itchy blister-like rash soon follows. The blisters become dry, crust over, and form scabs within 4 to 5 days. The average number of scabs is 300-400. The blisters tend to be more common on covered than on exposed parts of the body. They may appear on the scalp, armpits, trunk and even on the eyelids and in the mouth. Very mild infections occasionally occur in children. The disease is usually more serious in adults than in children.

KidsHealth Kids Kids' Health Problems Infections You haven't been feeling so great for the last few days, and you've had a runny nose and a cough. Then one morning you wake up and stumble into the bathroom. You look in the mirror with blurry eyes and - yikes! You have chickenpox! What Is Chickenpox? Chickenpox is caused by a virus called varicella zoster (say: var-uh- seh -luh zas -tur). People who get the virus often develop a rash of spots that look like blisters all over their bodies. The blisters are small and sit on an area of red skin that can be anywhere from the size of a pencil eraser to the size of a dime. You've probably heard that chickenpox are itchy. It's true. The illness also may come along with a runny nose and cough. But the good news is that chickenpox is a common illness for kids and most people get better by just resting like you do with a cold or the flu. And the really good news is that, thanks to the chickenpox vaccine (say: vak -seen), lots of kids don't get chickenpox at all. Kids who do get it, if they got the shot, often get less severe cases, which means they get better quicker. What Happens When You Have Chickenpox?

68. Chickenpox (Varicella) common in kids under the age of 15, anyone can get chickenpox. The good news a person usually has only one episode of chickenpox in his or her lifetime. http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/skin/chicken_pox.html

KidsHealth Parents Infections Chickenpox is a common disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), which is part of the herpesvirus family. Although many people associate the word herpes with genital herpes, the herpesvirus family is made up of nearly 100 kinds of viruses, eight of which cause disease in humans. Examples of different herpesviruses are herpes simplex virus (which causes cold sores and genital herpes infections), Epstein-Barr virus (which causes infectious mononucleosis), and varicella-zoster virus (which causes chickenpox and shingles). Varicella-zoster virus spreads in the air through coughs or sneezes or through contact with fluid from inside the chickenpox blisters. Chickenp ox, which occurs most often in the late winter and early spring, is very contagious - if exposed to an infected family member, about 80% to 90% of those in a household who haven't had chickenpox will get it. However, immunization of children with the chickenpox vaccine that's now available is expected to decrease cases of the disease dramatically over the next few years. Although it's more common in kids under the age of 15, anyone can get chickenpox. A person usually has only one episode of chickenpox in his or her lifetime. But the virus that causes chickenpox can lie dormant within the body and can cause a different type of skin eruption later in life called shingles, also referred to as herpes-zoster.

Facts About Chickenpox and Shingles For Adults What is chickenpox? Chickenpox, also known as varicella, is a very contagious disease caused by the varicella virus. It is spread easily through the air by infected people when they sneeze or cough. The disease also spreads through contact with an infected person's chickenpox blisters. People who have never had chickenpox can get infected just by being in a room with someone who has the disease. Symptoms of Chickenpox Early symptoms may include achiness, fever, fatigue, irritability and sore throat. An itchy, blistering rash then appears which can develop into as many as 250-500 blisters. The rash may even spread into the mouth or other internal parts of the body. In people who have been infected, symptoms appear between 10 and 21 days after exposure to the varicella virus. What is Shingles? Some people who have had chickenpox may develop shingles later in life. Shingles, or zoster, is a common illness that may strike 1 in 5 Americans. It is caused by a reactivation of the same varicella virus that causes chickenpox. Shingles is associated with normal aging and with anything that weakens the immune system such as certain medications, cancers, infections or inborn disorders. Symptoms of Shingles A painful, blistering rash tends to occur on one side of the body, usually on the trunk or face. There may be pain, numbness or tingling of the area 2-4 days before the rash appears. Pain or numbness can persist, sometimes for as long as a year, after the rash is gone. Damage can occur to the eyes or other organs if involved during a shingles outbreak.
