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.

However, if symptoms do arise in young children, it generally includes; painful swelling of the hands and feet (dactylitis), fatigue and yellowing of skin colour (jaundice).

If a child’s illness is discovered after they have entered the classroom, remove the child from the other children and call/text or talk to the parents.

Some symptoms include bloating and gas, abdominal pain, nausea, constipation, and vomiting (Mayo Clinic Staff). In children (under 2 years old) the signs and symptoms are vomiting, chronic diarrhea, swollen belly, poor appetite, and muscle wasting.

The second phase comes with small fluid-filled blisters known as vesicles, forming from the raised bumps. These appear about one day before they begin breaking and leaking. Finally, they crust over and form scabs. These will cover the broken blisters and can take an additional several more days to heal. Generally, these are children that are being brought in for the “rash”. Likely this child has been on contact with another child who has the virus, while also not having been immunized against the virus. The virus is usually transmitted airborne, but there is a possibility it could have come from direct contact with another child that has an active virus. For a normally healthy child there would likely be no changes in lab results for the child. Aside from extreme cases where the child might have been kept from treatment for an extended time, could change this childs lab results and

Chicken pox (Varicella) is a virus that is highly contagious by contact from person to person. Varicella can occurs at any age in life, especially to those that are immune-compromised, where they lose the ability to fight the virus. Though Chicken Pox is not a deadly disease, it causes uncomfortable symptoms, such as itch, rash, red spots all over the body.
