Chickenpox From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Redirected from Chicken pox Chicken pox , also spelled chickenpox , is a common childhood disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), also known as human herpes virus 3 (HHV-3). It is characterized by a fever followed by itchy raw pox or open sores. It is rarely fatal: if it does cause death, it is usually from varicella pneumonia , which occurs more frequently in pregnant women. In the US, 45% of chicken pox deaths were in the under-20 age group. Chicken pox has a two week incubation period and is highly contagious by air transmission two days before symptoms appear. Therefore chicken pox spreads quickly through schools and other places of close contact. Once someone is infected with the disease once, they cannot get it again. As the disease is more severe if contracted by an adult, parents have been known to ensure that their children became infected before adulthood. Pregnant women who come into contact with chickenpox should contact their doctor immediately as the virus can cause serious problems for the foetus. Later in life

By Gary Krasner After learning this month of the legislative attempt to make the varicella vaccine mandatory in New York, I looked for a handle for an article. Since I didn't recall that chicken pox had ever been grouped in the category of medicine's infamous "Killer Diseases", I thought I should find out how the Medical Boys justified making it compulsory for school children. It became apparent that the only medical justification for this vaccine had been the claimed mortalities. I went to the CDC's website and found something revealing in the May 15, 1998/Vol. 47/No. 18 issue of Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR, their official publication). It was entitled, "Varicella-Related Deaths Among Children: Texas and Iowa notified CDC of three fatal cases of varicella (chickenpox) that occurred in children during 1997" (reprinted in Appendix A below).

Print this Page document.write ( "E-mail to a Friend" ); document.write ( "" ); Chicken Pox Vaccine Reactivates When Immunity Declines After vaccination with the live attenuated varicella zoster (chicken pox) virus (VZV), anti-VZV titers decline and reactivation of the latent infection can occur. While this can boost immunity to the natural infection, the drawback is that reactivation may be accompanied by mild symptoms. Researchers followed 4,631 children who had received the vaccine. In children who initially had high anti-VZV titers, titers tended to decline during the 4 years of the study, while in those whose initial response to the vaccine was weaker, titers increased over time. The investigators identified 508 children who experienced a substantial increase, or boost, in VZV immunity. This rate was considerably higher than that expected from exposure to wild-type virus, and hence is attributable to reactivation of the vaccine virus. When titers remain high, the virus is dormant, but as immunity declines, the latent virus wakes up. In most cases, the boost will not lead to any symptoms more serious than a mild fever or a few spots.

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.

Chicken Pox Vaccine The varicella zoster virus, better known as chicken pox, causes an itchy blister like skin rash that covers the face, scalp, and trunk. It is accompanied by fever, headache, malaise, and loss of appetite. In most children the disease is an annoyance, but in children who already have a suppressed immune system serious complications can accompany the infection. Approximately 9,000 individuals are hospitalized each year from chicken pox infections, 80 percent of which are children. Around 50 children each year die from complications of the disease. The vaccine was more than a decade in development by Merck and the company has spent two years to prove to the FDA that the vaccine was safe and the effect was durable. The vaccine was tested on 9,545 healthy children and 1, 648 teenagers and adults. There are several unanswered questions about the vaccine, including: How long it protects against chicken pox and whether booster shots will be required to keep immunity. If the vaccine will have any beneficial effect for older adults in the prevention of shingles. Shingles results when an adult loses their immunity to the varicella zoster virus. It appears as a rash with painful blister like qualities generally in one area of the body.

27. Chicken Pox And Pregnancy chicken pox and pregnancy. Its not uncommon for women who are pregnant to come into contact with someone who has chicken pox. This http://www.womens-health.co.uk/chickpox.htm

Chicken pox and pregnancy Its not uncommon for women who are pregnant to come into contact with someone who has chicken pox. This can cause great worry, but it is uncommon for there to be a problem. Firstly, if the mum has definitely had chicken-pox, there is no risk to the baby or her. In any case, even if she doesn't recall having had chicken-pox, it is likely she has antibodies (80% do) from a silent (asymptomatic) infection. So if there's any doubt about it, she should see a doctor for a blood test to check if she's immune. Risks to the baby are important at the following two times, if mum gets chicken-pox: 1. Before 20 weeks - risk of chicken-pox syndrome. This is actually quite rare. Up until 14 weeks the risk is about 0.4%, whereas between 14-20 weeks it is 2%. If a woman has VZ-Ig treatment (see below) after being exposed, the risk is even lower. 2. Mum's rash developing within a week before delivery to a month afterwards. It takes about a week for mum to pass the protective antibodies to the baby, so if born before that time, the babe is at risk of overwhelming infection after birth. Between 20 weeks and term there is no risk to the baby. The other big risk of chicken-pox is to the mother. She is much more likely, during pregnancy, to get a chicken-pox pneumonia (10%) which can be very severe (even life-threatening).

Other links NHS Direct - self-help guide Chicken pox Click image to enlarge Children exposed to the virus develop chicken pox 7 to 21 days later. In most cases there are no symptoms before the rash appears. Symptoms A mild fever, stomach ache and general malaise can occur a day or two before the flat, red rash appears. This generally begins on the scalp, face and back, but can anywhere, although it is rarely seen on the palms of the hands or soles of the feet. Intensely itchy, tiny clear blisters soon follow. Fresh red spots are usually seen next to blisters and crusts. Most children are free from chicken pox in less than two weeks. Causes This virus spreads quickly, especially between children. Sneezing, coughing, contaminated clothing and direct contact with the open blisters are all ways of catching this relatively harmless infection. Prevention There is a licensed vaccine in this country for immunisation against chicken pox for healthy adults and adolescants. Complications Complications are very rare, although chicken pox can occasionally lead to encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), meningitis or pneumonia.

The following document was provided by Gary Krasner, Director Coalition For Informed Choice Email gk-cfic@juno.com Note: The information on this website is not a substitute for diagnosis and treatment by a qualified, licensed professional. With paraphrasing here and there, the next 9 paragraphs is taken from the section on chicken pox from the 1965 book, “Food Is Your Best Medicine” by Henry Bieler, M.D. He was a renowned clinician practicing in Pasadena, CA for over 50 years until his death in 1975. Dr. Bieler’s skills were sought after by Hollywood celebrities and honored by his peers (a medical wing was named after him). His book is still available from Random House. Chicken pox arises from the elimination of toxic fat or fatty acids through the hair fat glands. The chemical burn from the purging of waste products though the skin causes the characteristic blister of this disease. This occurs when the liver is congested and cannot perform its eliminative function and metabolic waste matter (toxins) is then thrown into the bloodstream. These toxins in the blood must be discharged, so nature uses vicarious avenues of elimination, or “substitutes”. When these bile poisons (from the liver) in the blood come out through the skin, we get skin conditions manifested by rashes, boils, acne, etc. Or they come out through the mucous membranes (inside skin) manifesting as various catarrhs, like chicken pox. Thus, the skin is “substituting” for the liver, or a vicarious elimination is occurring through the skin.

Chicken Pox (Varicella Zoster) Chicken pox is an illness which usually occurs in childhood. Children rarely are very ill, however infected adults can develop severe complications. Chicken pox is caused by a virus called varicella zoster, a member of he herpes virus family. It generally takes 7 to 21 days, after being exposed, before the first symptoms of chicken pox appear. Chicken pox usually lasts between 7 to 10 days from first onset and the infected person is contagious from 1-2 days before appearance of the characteristic rash of chicken pox, until after all vesicles are scabbed over. This is approximately 5 days after the first vesicles appear. The vesicles soon crust and scab over and all crusts generally fall off in 7 to 14 days. The spots and vesicles usually occur in "crops" over a 2 to 4 day period. They frequently itch a great deal and are generally quite uncomfortable. Signs of Chicken Pox Appear in the Following Order: (See Figure 2) Mild fever (101 to 103) with cold or flu-like symptoms, a vague abdominal pains, the child is tired and sleeps more than usual.
