Chicken pox, also referred to as Varicella, is an extremely contagious disease that is caused by infection of the virus, Varicella zoster. It results in small painful blisters across the body. It is an airborne disease, which spreads through a cough and sneeze of a contaminated person. Analysis of the antibodies may be done to ascertain if the patient is immune to the disease or not. People normally get infected by the disease only once. Reinfections of the disease are rare, and they normally occur without any symptoms. Before spreading to the entire body, chicken pox blisters begin to surface on the face, chest, and back. Other manifestations may include fever, tiredness, and headaches, that usually last for 5 to 10 days.
