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. 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.
Chicken Pox Vaccine Ok For Children With Kidney Disease

Extractions: Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center report that two doses of the varicella vaccine for chicken pox given one to two months apart can be safe and effective in children with chronic kidney disease. The findings, reported in the January issue of Pediatric Nephrology , are critical for chronic kidney disease patients, particularly children who will eventually undergo a kidney transplant. After transplantation, immunosuppressive medications put these children at high risk for severe chicken pox complications, including pneumonia, brain inflammation, and death. "We recommend pediatric nephrologists include chicken pox vaccination as an important component of pre-end-stage renal disease and end-stage renal disease care," said the study's lead author, Susan L. Furth, M.D, Ph.D., a pediatric nephrologist at the Children's Center. Varicella vaccine contains small doses of weakened strains of the chicken pox virus that activate immune system "memory" and mount a protective response to subsequent exposures.

Extractions: Toxoplasmosis, Chicken Pox and Fifth Disease in Pregnancy Of the month New Contest June! Dangerous Illnesses in Pregnancy Toxoplasmosis Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by parasites from uncooked meat or from contact with the feces of a cat. It can be a serious condition for a pregnant woman. Because the symptoms resemble the flu, it is hard to diagnose. A blood test is available to determine if toxoplasmosis is present. Chicken Pox When a pregnant woman becomes infected with the Chicken Pox virus, she and her baby are at risk. It can develop into pneumonia for the mother. Her baby can be at risk for birth defects such as defects of muscle, bones, malformed or paralized limbs, a smaller than normal head, blindness, seizures or mental retardation. If a pregnant woman comes in contact with someone who has Chicken Pox, she should call her doctor immediately. An injection may be needed to keep her and her baby safe. If a pregnant woman has had Chicken Pox previous to pregnancy there should be no concern for mother or baby.

Extractions: Subscribe now >> Q: I read an article about vaccinating for chicken pox. The article suggested that shingles erupt when immunity to the herpes zoster virus declines. It also said that the disease could be prevented in many cases by giving the chicken pox vaccine to middle-aged adults prophylactically. Is this true? Or, since the vaccine is so new, does anyone know yet? A: About 10% of adults in the US have never had chicken pox and are therefore susceptible to getting a more severe case if exposed. If a person is not sure if they were infected as a child, an inexpensive blood test is available. The vaccine is 70-90% effective in children, but not many studies have been done with adults. Side effects include fever, soreness at the injection site, and rash. As stated in an earlier column, shingles (reactivation of the chicken pox virus in nerves) is more common as people get older and their immunity declines. It is impossible to predict if, or when, a person who had chicken pox as a child will get shingles. The vaccine is an inactivated (not live) virus so it is conceivable that vaccinated persons may never get shingles because there is no virus to travel to the nerves and live dormant for years. We haven't had the vaccine long enough to know yet.

Extractions: Subscribe now >> The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Practitioners both recommend that healthy individuals over age 1 be vaccinated for chicken pox. However, many parents have mixed feelings about having their children vaccinated. After all, we got chicken pox the old fashioned way. Why the fuss over a mild, childhood disease that rarely lasts more than two weeks? What are the vaccine's benefits? The chicken pox vaccine (technically called the varicella-zoster vaccine) prevents the disease or at least diminishes its severity. Children, therefore, will be spared the characteristic blistering rash and fever that accompany chicken pox. Although rare, chicken pox can cause complications including bacterial infections of the skin, pneumonia and encephalitis. Given the potential complications and number of work and school days lost, there has been growing support for the vaccine. What are the risks?

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 no licensed vaccine in this country at the moment.

http://www.babybag.com/chickpox.htm

Extractions: I n the United States chicken pox (varicella) is one of the most common diseases that affects children under ten. Each year there are about 3.9 million cases of chicken pox nationwide which affect more than 95% of all people in their lifetime. Though chicken pox is highly contagious, its effects are usually mild and not life-threatening to normally healthy children. However, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, each year in the United States about 9,000 people are hospitalized for chicken pox and approximately 90 people die from the disease. Until recently, chicken pox could only be endured, but not prevented. Parents simply had to accept that their children would eventually get chicken pox, be ill for one to two weeks, require care, and possibly risk serious health complications. Now there is a new vaccine which can prevent or lessen the effects of chicken pox in children: varicella vaccine. All children should be immunized with the varicella vaccine between 12 months and 18 months of age regardless of prior history of chicken pox. Chicken pox is usually not a serious disease, however, immunizing your children when they are 12 months old and over can prevent them from getting sick. And your family will not have to suffer the other costs of children's illness such as missed work and health care bills. The varicella vaccine provides 95% protection from severe complications of the disease.

It has good safety and effectiveness, and has been in use for almost twenty years in other countries. Chicken pox is a viral disease, caused by infection from a person already having the disease. It affects almost everyone at some time in a lifetime, but usually occurs only once. It is believed to be a mild disease, but is associated with dangerous complications, especially in teenagers, persons with reduced immunity, and pregnant women. Children with reduced immunity, for example children with leukemia, or those taking anti cancer or steroid treatment, are also at high risk for severe varicella. Spread of Chicken Pox

In the late 1980s, there were a reported 3.9 million cases of chicken pox each year in the United States. The American Academy of Pediatrics estimates that more than 95% of the population contracted chicken pox prior to the availability of the vaccine. Most cases are fairly mild, with the child suffering seven to ten days of discomfort. A small percentage of chicken pox sufferers require hospitalization. Chicken pox is highly contagious. A person with chicken pox is contagious from one to two days before the outbreak of the chicken pox rash, and for six days after the rash erupts. After being exposed, a person will show symptoms of chicken pox within 10-21 days. A person can only get chicken pox once. Symptoms of the disease include a mild

Extractions: Symptoms of chicken pox resemble those of the common cold: Your baby has a runny nose and has developed a mild fever. Next comes a rash that may look like small insect bites, usually starting on the scalp and trunk, then moving to the face and legs, and eventually covering most of the body. In a few days, the raised spots turn into blisters and the rash turns itchy. The blisters will crust over and heal on their own, but most children will scratch.

Extractions: Approved by the ParentCenter Medical Advisory Board What's below: Should my child get the chicken pox vaccine? When should my child get the varicella vaccine? Who definitely shouldn't get the varicella vaccine? What other precautions should I take before my child gets this shot? ... Still not convinced? Should my child get the chicken pox vaccine? Ultimately it's up to you, but the latest thinking is that it's a good idea. This shot may seem unnecessary to you because childhood chicken pox (also known as varicella) is usually a mild illness. And your pediatrician may even tell you that it's better for your child to get the virus rather than the vaccine because it assures permanent immunity. Some doctors believe the immunity from the vaccine can wear off, leaving your child vulnerable to getting the virus as an adult, when the illness is more likely to be serious. But this advice is out of date, says Paul Offit, chief of infectious diseases at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and author of Vaccines: What Every Parent Should Know . Although this vaccine was just recently approved, in 1995, it has been tested in children for 30 years. And it's very similar to other vaccines that have been around for more than 50 years and are known to provide permanent immunity, so there's no reason to believe that the immunity from this shot would "wear off." Here's why getting the vaccine is a better deal for your child's health than getting the virus:

Extractions: Approved by the ParentCenter Medical Advisory Board What's below: My child has a spotty red rash all over her chest. Could it be chicken pox? Is chicken pox dangerous? Is there any way to prevent chicken pox? How should I treat my child's chicken pox? My child 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 child 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.
