Keywords:
Varicella, rash, immunity, temperature, skin, infection.Abstract
Varicella is not a harmless disease; a certain percentage of various complications are recorded, including those requiring subsequent hospitalization. Moreover, this is observed in children under the age of 15 years with normal immunity. With age, the risk of complications and mortality can increase up to 50%, provided that the sick adult has not had varicella before or has not been vaccinated. Often, secondary skin infections, pneumonia, varicella encephalitis, cerebellar ataxia, lesion of the facial nerve, and eye damage are recorded as complications.
