Chickenpox is an airborne disease spread easily through coughing or sneezing of ill individuals or through direct contact with secretions from the rash. A person with chickenpox is infectious one to two days before the rash appears. They remain contagious until all lesions have crusted over (this takes approximately six days). Immunocompromised patients are contagious during the entire period as new lesions keep appearing.
During the infection, the body’s immune system will create antibodies which fights the virus. This usually results in life long immunity to the chicken pox virus. • It is uncommon for a person to be affected by chicken pox more than once. • Chicken pox is usually an infection that affects children but can affect adults if they did not have chicken pox as a child.
