Chickenpox

Shingles, herpes zoster, is a very contagious and painful rash, or blister that appears on the skin. These rashes most commonly appear on the sides of the body in stripes. The stripes are made up of many very painful blisters caused by a certain type of virus. The varicella zoster, most commonly known as the chicken pox virus attacks the nerve roots in that area. The herpes zoster virus is in the herpes family, including HSV, herpes simple virus, which causes cold sores, fever blisters, and genital herpes. (WebMD, 2011) Most people are required to get the chicken pox shot when they are children although some do not. The chicken pox shot helps to keep out the virus by keeping it dormant in the nerves. The varicella zoster virus stays in a

| It's a very contagious infection.The chickenpox virus is spread in the same ways as colds as flu.

Varicella (chicken pox) and Herpes Zoster (shingles) are pathologies that in a sense go hand in hand; you can't contract shingles until you have had Chicken pox. Anyone who has had chicken pox is not guarantee to get shingles but is at risk as shingles is a painful localized recurrence of the skin rash, it could reactivate or remain dormant.

Another interesting fact that I came across within the article, was that a host with shingles is able to provide direct transmission of the chickenpox’s with the help of an open rash or sore. Naturally you would expect the person to automatically

Shingles is a skin disease that causes large rashes and blisters. The shingles virus normally comes after you have had the chicken pox. Once you have gotten the chicken pox the shingles virus is already inside of you. This doesn’t exactly mean that you will get shingles if you have had the chicken pox it just means you are more likely to get it. The correct name of the virus that gives shingles is varicella zoster virus this virus is the same for chicken pox. The shingle virus can stay dormant inside of someone for years but when it comes awake it will travel up nerves and whatever those nerves control is what will be affected. According to (The british skin foundation) “About 20% of people who have had chickenpox will have an attack of shingles

Shingles are more likely to show up in adults who have had the chickenpox in their childhood. The shingles are caused by a viral infection known as the varicella-zoster virus. This virus is part of a group of viruses called herpes viruses (herpes zoster). Although shingles is part of this group, it is not the same in that it is not a virus that is responsible for sexually transmitted diseases. Shingles can be very painful and cause many types of infections, but it is not life-threatening and it is treatable.

Chicken Pox is a virus caused by varicella-zoster, a member of the herpes family. This same virus also is a cause of herpes zoster other known as shingles in adults. Chicken pox is very contagious and can easily spread to people. Chicken pox is acquired by coming into contact with the fluid of a chicken pox blister, or airborne by an infected person sneezing near you. The blister-like rash usually lasts five to ten days. The incubation period lasts 10-21 days and a person with chickenpox becomes contagious one to two days before their blisters appear. The person with chicken pox remains contagious until all the blisters have crusted

According to Tortora and Derrickson (2014), “[antigens are] substances that are recognized as foreign and provoke immune responses” (p. 815), while “[allergens] are antigens that produce an allergic reaction“ (p. 834). For example, when a virus, such as chicken pox, invades the body, it incites an adaptive immune response, which allows to body to better protect itself in the future. If the antigen were to invade the body again, symptoms may be much smaller or may not even appear, because the body faster recognizes the invader and takes care of it much more swiftly. This is why people usually get Chicken Pox only once.

The article describes what chicken pox is, its effects short term and long term, importance of getting vaccinated since it’s a very common childhood disease. The specific facts I want to use about chicken pox is that it’s a very common childhood disease, what age is best to receive the vaccination, scientists believe all kids should receive the chicken pox vaccine, before the vaccine about 11,000 people were hospitalized in the United States each year, and also before the vaccine about 100 people died each year because of the disease. This will add logos and pathos because it gives a specific amount of individuals being hospitalized yearly before the vaccine, also there is nothing humorous about a disease that is common in childhood or death.

This came after extreme testing in Japan which showed there was no lingering effects. Even though the vaccine is in use today and is proven to be safe, it is still under debate if it should be used and if it. Chickenpox is caused by the Even though the vaccine is in use today and is proven to be safe, it is still under debate if it should be used and if it. Chickenpox is caused by the Varicella zoster virus. Chickenpox is very contagious, approximately four million cases occur each year. Breathing in sneezed air by someone who is infected with chickenpox is the most common way this disease is. The most obvious symptom is a itchy rash which starts on the body and scalp and spreads to the face, arms, and legs. This rash forms blisters that dry and become scabs if four to five days. An infected person may have anywhere from only a few scabs to more than five hundred scabs on his or her body during and attack. Varicella zoster virus.

Chicken Pox, or Varicella, is a viral infection caused by the Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV). The virus remains within the individual and in one third of cases will reactivate causing Shingles or Herpes Zoster (HZ). VZV only infects humans and is “a double stranded DNA of the herpesvirus group.” (Leung 343). VZV has been in existence for centuries, yet it wasn’t until the late 19th century that it was more closely examined. First, the observation was made that Varicella was not a mild form of smallpox but another virus that was characteristically similar. In 1888, von Bokoy made a connection between that of Varicella and HZ. He observed children, without prior Varicella immunity, become exposed to HZ and, as a result, developed a primary Varicella

Chickenpox is a contagious viral disease which is caused by the varicella-zoster virus.(Britannica) The symptoms appear about 13-17 days after contact with the infected person.(NAVER) Intense itchiness, high temperature(fever), red rash, loss of appetite and headaches are common.(WebMD) The symptoms tend to be worse in adults than in children.(Women’sHealth) Many children get chickenpox before the age of 12. (KidsHealth) It can spread easily by sneezing, coughing from the infected person.(NHS Choices) The disease can be treated by acyclovir. It works best if it is given within the first 24 hours after the rash starts. However, it is not recommended for children below the age of 14.(CDC) The infected person should also rest at home and stay

The Varicella-Zoster virus causes a very infectious disease called Chickenpox. Chickenpox is usually acquired through the inhalation of airborne respiratory droplets from an infected host. Chickenpox is primarily acquired during childhood , with more than 90% of all reported cases occurring in children under the age of 10. A person with chickenpox can spread the virus without even showing any signs or symptoms. It is usually most easily transmitted two to three days before a rash appears and keeps that high transmission rate until the blisters have crusted over.

Chickenpox is a viral infection caused by the Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) transmitted via the respiratory route that causes itchy, blisters-like rashes usually lasting about 5-10 days. It is highly contagious transmitted by person to person contact (direct) from respiratory secretions or indirectly through contact with airborne respiratory droplets, via soiled inanimate objects infected by discharge from skin lesions, vesicle discharges or nasopharyngeal secretions. The incubation period lasts about 10-21 days and the disease is communicable 1-2 days
