Authors and Editors Chickenpox Overview Chickenpox, also known as varicella, is a highly contagious and self-limited infection that most commonly affects children between 5-10 years of age. The disease has a worldwide distribution and is reported throughout the year in regions of temperate climate. The peak incident is generally during the months of March through May. Lifelong immunity for chickenpox generally follows the disease. If the patient's immune system does not totally clear the body of the virus, it may retreat to skin sensory nerve cell bodies where it is protected from the patient's immune system. The disease shingles (also known as "zoster") represents release of these viruses down the length of the skin nerve fiber and produces a characteristic painful

Dreams All times in EST Autism Spectrum Disorders: 4:00 PM Full Schedule Moms Site Editor Wanted BellaOnline's Moms Editor Chicken Pox Guest Author - Kelly Aveiro Chicken pox is one of the most common childhood diseases. It's also one of the most contagious childhood infections and can be transmitted from one person to the next via airborne transmission, direct contact or droplet transmission. Chicken pox is caused by the virus Varicella-zoster ( also known as Varicella). Because it's so contagious children infected with the virus should be isolated and kept away from other people, especially babies and the elderly. Even those who have just taken the anti-varicella virus vaccination should be refrain from contact with others as they can still transmit the virus.Unlike other vaccines, the anti-varicella vaccine does not require boosters. However, adolescents may take, with proper medical advice, larger doses of the vaccine to shield themselves herpes zoster or shingles. Once you get infected by varicella virus, become a lifetime host of it. What keeps the virus under control is the body's immune system. Some children are fortunate enough to be born with partial immunity from the virus through the mother's blood. If the mother had chicken pox and then developed her own immunity from it, she may pass this immunity on to her child. Sadly, Children whose mothers have not had chicken pox virus tend to suffer the most when they get infected themselves. Even children who have been immunized may still get develop chicken pox, but the infection is considered mild. Kids afflicted with sunburn or eczema are likely to suffer even more because the chicken pox aggravates the already damaged skin. Severe complications can also arise in those who have taken steroids.

Healing Cold Sores, Genital Herpes and Shingles.. ..without drugs? INTRODUCTION I have developed a Protocol for healing Cold Sores, Fever Blisters, Genital Herpes, Shingles and even Chicken Pox. This formula, which I have called The Herpes Protocol®, so far, boasts a remarkable track record, having been 100% effective, in 100% of the the cases, and with no adverse reaction ever reported. In other words, it has : 1)Consistently, and without exception, succeeded in healing cold sores, rashes and other lesions, shortly after being initiated by the patient; 2)Significantly reduced the symptomatic phase of all types of Herpes infection, in terms of duration and severity; 3)Reversed secondary pathologies, such as Bell's Palsy, that sometimes develop wherever one of the Herpes viruses flares up; and 4)Greatly reduced (in many cases even eliminated) the incidence of relapses, as well as their duration and morbidity. My name is Roberta Maria Atti and I have been working as a Nutritionist/Psychobiologist for about 25 years, in Italy, where I was born and raised, and the USA where I live. Herpes, in all of its manifestations, is the subject of this website.

Vaccination not only protects vaccinated persons, it also reduces the risk for exposure in the community for persons unable to be vaccinated because of illness or other conditions, including those who may be at greater risk for severe disease. While no vaccine is 100% effective in preventing disease, the chickenpox vaccine is very effective: about 8 to 9 of every 10 people who are vaccinated are completely protected from chickenpox. In addition, the vaccine almost always prevents against severe disease. If a vaccinated person does get chickenpox, it is usually a very mild case lasting only a few days and involving fewer skin lesions (usually less than 50), mild or no fever, and few other symptoms.

Varicella The Varicella vaccine is given at twelve months. In today’s modern world childhood infections have very few consequences. Actually having the diseases can impart lifetime immunity whereas vaccine immunity is only temporary. For example this vaccine has an effective rate estimated at six to ten years. If effective it will postpone chicken pox until adulthood when death from the disease is twenty times more likely. Merck’s own literature states “Further duration of protection is unknown at present and the need for booster is not defined.” This vaccine was licensed in 1995 so no long-term studies have been done. Some healthcare professionals are concerned that the ‘herpes viruses’ could reactivate later in life in the form of shingles or Epstein Barr. The Illinois State Board of health voted against the Chickenpox vaccine mandate due to nine thousand adverse reactions reported in 1995. As of August 2000, Illinois had 231 compensation claims had been filed for 45 deaths and 186 injuries. This vaccine is made from fetal bovine serum , aborted fetal tissue cells and Monosodium Glutamate.

Chicken Pox Menu Chicken Pox Homepage How do you get chickenpox? What is the chickenpox illness like? What are the serious complications from chickenpox? ... Chicken Pox Books Chicken Pox Information IT'S MORE SERIOUS THAN YOU THINK Many adults remember the itchy spots of chickenpox (varicella) they had as children. They think that varicella is a mild illness and one that does not need to be prevented through vaccination. They wonder why children are not allowed to acquire natural infection. Even some health care providers are not convinced. But chickenpox can be dangerous and even deadly. Before the introduction of the varicella vaccine in 1995, approximately 4 million cases of the disease were reported annually, including 4,000 to 9,000 hospitalizations and 100 deaths. While varicella is the greatest vaccine-preventable killer of children in the United States, only 26 percent of children ages 19 to 35 months old had received varicella vaccine by 1997. Ninety percent of all varicella cases and approximately 60 percent of hospital- izations and 40 percent of deaths due to varicella occur in children younger than age 10. Today, the greatest incidence of varicella has shifted to younger children (ages 1 to 4, rather than ages 5 to 9), probably because of earlier exposure in preschool and child care settings. In the first 3 months of 1998, three fatal cases of varicella in children were reported. All three children were unvaccinated. Failing to vaccinate young children for varicella is also a threat to adults who lack immunity. In 1997, three fatal cases of varicella in young adult women were reported. All three women had not been vaccinated for varicella and were infected by exposure to unvaccinated preschool-age children with the disease. Although fewer than 5 percent of cases of varicella occur in adults ages 20 and older, 55 percent of varicella-related deaths occur in this age group.

CHICKEN POX IN CHILDREN AND REMEDIES The best treatment is supposed to be Aveeno oatmeal baths in combination with Aveeno's Super Anti-Itch cream. Calamine lotion runs second to the Anti-Itch cream. Caladryl is usually not recommended due to the danger of an overdose of Benedryl (diphenhydramine) from absorption through the skin, although oral Benedryl is given. Studies have shown that Tylenol (acetaminophen) does not shorten and may lengthen the time it takes to recover, possibly by one full day. I'd use it anyway if it made the child more comfortable. Aspirin must not be given to children and teenagers suspected of having chicken pox due to the risk of Reye's syndrome.

Your Health Chicken Pox By Max The Center for Disease Control estimates that there are over 4 million cases of chicken pox each year! Chicken pox is named after, cicer, the Latin word for chickpeas. People used to think the red bumps looked like chickpeas on the skin! Why don't doctors predict who will get chicken pox? Click for answer First, chicken pox has nothing to do with chickens that live on farms. Rather, chicken pox (varicella) is a disease in which you develop little red bumps filled with fluid. This disease is most common in late winter and spring. Also, the sores associated with chicken pox are very itchy. Anyone can get chicken pox if they have not already had it. It is contagious for exactly 7 days. Chicken pox spreads by touching the fluid that comes from the sores. This fluid contains the virus called varicella-zoster, which can be transmitted by droplets from coughing and breathing. Some symptoms of chicken pox are: low fever, headache, rash, and a feeling of sickness.
