Research Paper On Congenital Varicella Syndrome

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. As for those that already have suffered from chicken pox, the virus doesn’t completely get eradicated from the body, but it stays dormant in the coccyx bone. As it is an opportunistic virus, that waits for the body to have weak immune system. However, the second occurrence of this virus is called Shingles; where it does not attack the whole body, but only certain nerves along the body.

Shingles is a virus that causes a tender rash located anywhere on the body. The torso and face are common areas for shingles to occur, and usually appears just as a strip of blisters. The shingles virus can affect anybody, but is more likely to occur in adults. Varicella-zoster virus, which causes chickenpox, can lead to shingles. Once someone has had chickenpox, it remains in the body located in nerve tissue close to the spinal cord. After a number of years, it can reappear as the shingles virus. The virus remains in the body and can flare up at different times, but some people never experience the return of this virus. It is not possible to get shingles if one has never been exposed to chickenpox.

Smallpox is a virus that was first founded in ancient times. The virus?s proper name is Variola rex, and it has various different forms as well as various symptoms. Among these forms are typical smallpox, hemorrhagic smallpox, and malignant smallpox, all of which usually always cause death in their victims. Some of the typical symptoms of smallpox include red vesicles and pustules all over, bleeding from all orifices of the body, swelling in the face, throat, and eyes, difficulty eating and swallowing, delirium, malaise, deterioration of the bone marrow, lymph nodes and mucus membranes of the body, and a multitude of other secondary symptoms. Smallpox is typically diagnosed by ruling out the possibility of other

The incubation period for chicken pox is 2-3 weeks (Bishop,P et al. 2010), this is the contagious time before the signs and symptoms start showing, which means the nurse’s daughter, was past the infectious period of the disease. The nurse’s daughter could have had the virus for over a week, and exposed her mother to it during this time. If the nurse developed symptoms a few days after getting Varicella Zoster Immunoglobin, she had already contracted the virus before immuniglobin injection had been administered, thus not able to prevent chickenpox in this case.

Varicella zoster virus is the same virus that causes chickenpox. Therefore, if a person has previously had chickenpox at younger age they are more likely to get Shingles because that same virus is dormant in their body. The virus stays dormant around the nerve tissue of spinal cord for a long time after the person have had chickenpox. The shingles virus can

Herpes Zosters also known as shingles is caused by the varicella zoster virus (VZV), the same virus that that causes us to get chickenpox. . Anyone who has ever had chickenpox in their youth years, are most likely to get shingles in their elder years. Once a person has chickenpox, the virus is still in the person body. It “sleeps” in certain nerves in your body and once you get older the virus will reactivate and become herpes zoster. Every 1 in 3 people will get shingles at the age 60 and older. About 1 million people in the U.S are affected by this virus. Having a low immune system can give the virus a chance to attack the victim. If the victim has a medical condition such as having leukemia, and lymphoma, having HIV, or even taking medication

Shingles is a disease that one out three people in the United States will likely develop. It usually develops in elderly men and women. Shingles is a virus that is similarly to chickenpox. If a person has had chickenpox, then he or she will likely develop shingles. “Shingles is known as zoster or herpes zoster, and an estimated 1 million cases occurs each year in this country” (Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 2014). The cause of shingles is the varicella zoster virus (VZV). There are noticeable signs and symptoms associated with shingles. It can have a major impact on an individual’s life, when detected. Other issues surrounding shingles are its environmental and genetic causes, treatment, and prevention.

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.

A disease that affects about 1 million Americans each year. It can also occur in healthy children and younger persons as well. Shingles can occur anywhere on your body, but it most often occurs as a single strip of blisters that wraps around either the left or the right side of your torso. Majority of the time, people have a single episode of shingles, but there are times when some have repetitive instances. Shingles are more common in older individuals 60 years of age and older, or in people with weakened immune systems. The pathological agent of Shingles is the Varicella zoster virus. The virus make its way into the nervous system transmitting sensory information from the skin to the brain. When the Varicella zoster virus reactivates, shingles appears as well as the

Shingles is a viral infection, caused by the Varicella-Zoster virus. This is the same virus that affects you when you have chicken pox. Varicella-Zoster is not the same virus that causes cold sores or genital herpes, this would be the HSV1, or HSV2 (herpes simplex virus.) HSV1 is associated with cold sores, HSV2 is associated with genital herpes. However, once you have had chicken pox, the virus lays dormant, so later in life the virus can become active. Activated later in life the virus becomes shingles. This virus lays dormant in the nerve tissue close to the brain and spinal cord. Once the virus is activated, it is a very painful virus, that takes weeks or months for the virus to run it’s course.

Small pox is an infectious rash of little round blisters they could be found on the legs arms and face. Small pox is caused by a deadly virus known as the Variola virus. There has not been a small pox case in the U.S since 1949 but the last known case was in Somalia in 1977. Vaccinations have wiped out the virus but not all of it. Two facilities one in the U.S and one in Russia. You cant get a vaccination any were. The virus is spread not by animals but by other people by someone touching the infected area or breathing in the same air in a small place like a plane or a bus or if you touch something that someone else has

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 (varicella) is a highly contagious communicable disease, which is caused by the varicella-zoster virus. Chickenpox causes an itchy blister or rash all over one’s body. Chickenpox can be dangerous especially in babies, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. Chickenpox is usually not a serious problem in healthy children, and if a child develops Chickenpox, they should stay home to prevent from contaminating other people.

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
