Chickenpox - Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, Diagnosis - Medbroadcast
medbroadcast.com — “Chickenpox is a very common illness caused by the varicella-zoster virus. It's extremely contagious. The rash that it produces is usually harmless and goes away on its own. While you can get chickenpox at any age, 90% of cases occur before the age of 14. Anyone who's had the disease once is immune for life, although they can still get shingles, a painful skin rash caused when the varicella-zoster virus becomes active again, even many years after you've had chickenpox.” View full resource at medbroadcast.com
