WHAT ARE THE VACCINES FOR VARICELLA-ZOSTER VIRUS (CHICKEN POX)? Description of Varicella-Zoster Virus (Chicken Pox) Chicken pox (caused by the varicella-zoster virus) is a very common disease and nearly every unvaccinated child becomes infected with it. Most adults are immune to it. The infection rarely causes complications in healthy children, but it is not always harmless. Five out of every 1000 children are hospitalized and in rare cases, it can be fatal. For example, during 1998 alone, four unvaccinated adults and two unvaccinated children died from varicella in Florida. Since all six were good candidates for the vaccine, these deaths could have been prevented. Chicken pox can be severe in adults and very serious in anyone with a compromised immune system. In addition, in about 20% of adults who have had chicken pox, the varicella virus (which persists after the childhood disease) erupts as a painful and distressing condition called herpes zoster (shingles). Vaccines for Varicellavirus (Chicken Pox) A live-virus vaccine (Varivax) produces persistent immunity against chicken pox. Data show that the vaccine can prevent chicken pox or reduce the severity of the illness even if it is used within three days, and possibly up to five days, after exposure to the infection. The vaccine is protects about 85% of children from getting chicken pox, and even if a vaccinated person becomes infected, nearly all cases are mild.

Prevention Introduction Chicken Pox is an ubiquitous and extremely contagious viral illness. The primary illness, characterised by a generalised skin rash, is caused by the Varicella Zoster virus. Recurrence of the infection results in a localised skin rash, otherwise known as shingles or Herpes Zoster. Chicken Pox, often confused with Small Pox in earlier times, occurs seasonally and in epidemics the world over. Humans are the only known reservoir. The virus is spread by the respiratory route and is a common infection in children. Cause and Pathogenesis Varicella Zoster virus is an enveloped virus of the herpes family. Chicken Pox occurs in susceptible individuals who are exposed to the virus after intimate contact. After entry through the respiratory route, the virus replicates, reaches the lymphatic system and then the blood stream. Roughly two weeks after the virus entry, a diffuse vesicular skin rash is seen. It is believed that the virus lodges in the sensory nerves after the rash clears only to reactivate at a later date, several years later, to cause herpes zoster.

Varicella (Chicken Pox) Vaccine Advice and recommendations from the UCB Parents mailing list. This page is brought to you by UC Berkeley Parents Network Back to and Want exposure, not vaccination Can vaccinated children still get chicken pox? Want exposure, not vaccination April 2001 I decided not to vaccinate my 2 kids against chicken pox, so I want them to get exposed to the virus before too long. Do you or anyone you know have the chicken pox that you'd like to share with us? Please call or email me. I just read a posting asking for exposure to chickenpox instead of a child receiving the vacccine. As an advocate for child health and disease prevention, I would just like to point out that chickenpox or its complications has been the NUMBER ONE cause of childhood death among vaccine-preventable illnesses in this country. Yes, chickenpox is usually a "mild" (albeit annoying) illness in most children, but why would you want to expose your child to a *strong* form of the virus when there is a much weaker (and less dangerous) form available as a vaccine? In addition, the rate of "shingles" (a painful reactivation of chicken pox) appears to be lower in vaccinated children. When my vaccinated daughter was exposed to the chickenpox outbreak at school, I just whistled a happy tune as she didn't get sick and got her own "shotless booster". Margery Each parent will need to decide for themselves, based on the current available information, what their choice is in this matter. My choice was to leave her unvaccinated till age 5 or so, and then, if she hadn't contracted it by then, probably give her the vaccine before entering kindergarten. I wish all of us good luck in charting a course through these especially murky waters. Dawn

Chicken Pox: New Treatment for an Old Disease By Dr. Louis J. Tesoro The Pediatric Group, P.A. Chicken pox (varicella) is one of the most common of the childhood viral exanthems (rashes). The infection is most common among children ages 5-10 years, though it may occur at any age. While varicella occurs year round, the peak periods occur in late autumn and in late winter/early spring. In a normal child, varicella is most often a benign, though highly contagious illness caused by the varicella-zoster virus. Frequently, at the onset, there is a low-grade fever, runny nose, and mild malaise (fatigue) followed by the appearance of an itchy rash. The lesions occur in rapidly evolving crops that initially involve the trunk and scalp and then spread to the extremities. Each lesion begins as an erythematous papule (red pimple) that enlarges over several hours to form thin walled superficial vesicles (blisters) each surrounded by a red halo. As the lesion dries out over several days, the red halo fades and the vesicle develops a crust or scab. The presence of all three stages of the rashpimples, blisters, and scabsin the same region of the body is the hallmark of chicken pox. In most children, the scabs slough off in 10-14 days. Chicken pox may occur on several body membranes as well including the eyes, mouth, external ear canal, vagina, and rectum. While skin lesions are generally itchy, these membranes lesions are sometimes painful. No additional treatment, however, is required for these lesions.

While the illness came and went without much fuss with Daniel, three-year-old Ashley was another story. A pock near her eye became infected, and we were given an antibiotic to help fight the infection and another medication to use in case the infection began to spread. Ashley is very easygoing and was happy to take her medicine, until about the third dose. She became warm and began vomiting. Her vomiting and diarrhea continued into the night. She became lethargic and spiked a very high fever. Through it all, I cuddled her and nursed her. My milk was the only thing that she could keep down. We continued to nurse and she seemed to rally a little the next day, keeping down popsicles and juice. But by the following day, she appeared to be in trouble! With her eyes sunken in and her lips almost vanished, we decided to take her to the doctor.

Almost everyone gets chickenpox by adulthood (more than 95% of Americans). Chickenpox is highly contagious. CDC estimates that 4 million cases occur each year. The virus spread from person to person by direct contact, or through the air. Approximately 90% of persons in a household who have not had chickenpox will get it if exposed to an infected family member. The greatest number of cases of chickenpox occur in the late winter and spring. Chickenpox has a characteristic itchy rash, which then forms blisters that dry and become scabs in 4-5 days. The rash may be the first sign of illness, sometimes coupled with fever and general malaise which is usually more severe in adults. An infected person may have anywhere from only a few lesions to more than 500 lesions on their body during an attack (average 300-400).

Could it be chicken pox? Is chicken pox dangerous? Is there any way to prevent chicken pox? How should I treat my toddler's chicken pox? My toddler has a spotty red rash all over her chest. Could it be chicken pox? It may be. Chicken pox typically shows up as an itchy rash that starts out as small red bumps. These bumps quickly change into thin-walled water blisters on a pink base that are often described as "dewdrops on a rose petal." The blisters then develop into cloudy sores, which finally become dry brown crusts within about four days. New waves of rashes often spring up during the process. Your child will likely be tired and slightly feverish. Chicken pox is caused by a germ called the varicella zoster virus, which passes from person to person with remarkable ease. People with the illness can pass it on by touching someone else with their hands or by releasing it into the air whenever they sneeze, cough, or even breathe. So if your toddler hasn't received the chicken pox vaccine or had the virus itself, she's likely to come down with it if she's exposed to an infected person.

Search by Sue Spataro, RN, BSN Join our health discussion groups Mary Jo, a 60 year old woman, developed a burning, tingling feeling on the right side of her body..... After a few days she developed a red rash at the point of the burning. Blisters began to form along with headaches and a fever. Perplexed, Mary Jo visited her family doctor. After a thorough physical exam, a scraping of the blisters, and conversation with Mary Jo, her doctor told her she had Herpes Zoster, better known as Shingles. Herpes Zoster is a nerve infection caused by the chicken pox. Mary Jo couldn't understand where she picked this up. Her doctor explained that anyone who has had chicken pox is at risk for developing Shingles. Although children can get this, it is much more common in people over the age of 50. Trauma, stress and/or a weakened immune system can bring on the Shingles. The virus lays dormant in nerve cells. About 20 percent of people who have had chicken pox will develop herpes zoster. Mary Jo wanted to know how long the pain and discomfort would last. What was the treatment? Zoster usually clears on it's own according to her doctor. Pain relievers and cool compresses are helpful in drying the blisters. Sometimes if the Zoster is severe ant-viral drugs, in capsule form, may be prescribed.

June 2, 2004 Resources Teen Health Chicken Pox Chicken Pox Mar. 28 2001 There's no mistaking chicken pox. This is one childhood illness that's easy to spot! Unless your child is vaccinated against chicken pox, it's almost guaranteed that at some point he or she will come down with this common childhood illness. Fortunately, chicken pox (or varicella) is short lived, lasting about a week. Chicken pox is spread through airborne droplets and is extremely contagious, occurring in about 85% of children under twelve. The good news is that while it is extremely contagious, once children have chicken pox they are immune for life. How do you know your child has chicken pox? "The first thing the parent sees is the rash," explains infectious diseases specialist, Dr. Ron Gold. "The rash often starts on the face or body and then may spread out onto the arms or legs. It's a very typical rash that doesn't look like anything else. It's a little blister with redness around the base of it. Unfortunately for the child it bothers them more than other rashes because it's very itchy." Other symptoms include fever, runny nose, fatigue, and decreased appetite. Acetaminophen may help a child feel more comfortable and reduce the fever. But never give a child A-S-A, such as aspirin, as there is a link between it and the sometimes fatal, Reye's syndrome. Dr. Gold suggests that baths can be of great help and that "some children prefer cool water to relieve the itching with starch in it. Some prefer it to be hot so it's worth experimenting."

Legal : Chicken pox vaccination or not? DEAR DR.PAUL: My family physician has suggested that we have our 18-month-old daughter vaccinated with the chicken pox vaccine. Is there enough information out there to support this recommendation? PEDIATRICIAN DR.PAUL Answers: Chicken pox, caused by the Varicella virus, is one of the most common childhood infections. It is usually mild and not life-threatening to healthy children. However, it can be dangerous to individuals who have a weakened immune system, to adults and adolescents, and to babies less than one year of age. The potential complications include bacterial infection of the skin, pneumonia, encephalitis (infection of the brain) and, rarely, Ryes syndrome - a severe and potentially deadly condition affecting the liver and brain. It is important to note that when adults get chicken pox disease it is usually more severe, often developing into pneumonia. Adults are almost ten times more likely to be hospitalised for chicken pox than children under 14 years of age. Adults are also 20 times more likely to die from the disease.

CHICAGO, Illinois (Reuters) Chicken pox vaccine loses a substantial amount of its effectiveness in the first year after it is administered but overall remains very protective up to eight years, a study said on Tuesday. The vaccine, which uses a live but weakened virus, was developed in 1974 and has been approved in the United States since 1995. It is recommended for healthy children at 12 to 18 months. Doctors at the Yale University School of Medicine said a look at 339 children found the effectiveness of the vaccine declines from 99 percent in the first year to 84 percent in years two through eight. The report, published in this week's Journal of the American Medical Association, rated that level of protection as excellent.

Homeopathic Remedies for Chicken Pox Also indexed as: Varicella Zoster Introduction Remedy options Amount to take Chicken pox is a common childhood viral illness. Many cases are mild; however, those that are uncomfortable can often be helped with homeopathy. Fatigue and low fever typically begin ten days to three weeks from the time of exposure. A flat red rash comes out, transforms into pimples, then develops into blisters that eventually break and harden into itchy crusts. If fever is very high and persistent, or if a person seems to be extremely ill, it is best to consult a physician. What Is Homeopathy? Antimonium tartaricum: This remedy may be indicated when eruptions are large and slow to emerge. The child feels sweaty, fussy, and may be nauseous with a white-coated tongue. If chest congestion with a rattling cough develops, or a bubbly sound on breathing, Antimonium tart is likely to be the appropriate remedy. Antimonium crudum: A child who needs this remedy usually is irritable and may object to being touched or looked at. The eruptions are sore, and touching them may bring on shooting pains. Apis mellifica: When this remedy is indicated, the skin around the eruptions is pink and puffy and very itchy, with stinging pains. The eyelids may also be swollen. The person feels worse from warmth, is irritable, and usually is not thirsty.
