Physically, varicella is very uncomfortable for patients because they have to endure discomfort from symptoms such as the rash and the associated itching, fever anorexia and other constitutional symptoms. Patients often need to be isolated and kept at home. Thus, a school-going child may miss her school for a few days upto month (which is ideally not needed).

Among preschoolers, boys who stutter outnumber girls who stutter about two to one, or less. See similar questions...

Several diseases and drug reactions can result in the occurrence of rash, fever, and malaise; therefore, a diagnosis of smallpox based solely on clinical manifestations may be difficult.

The table below summarizes the major differences between the 2 disease states. See similar questions...

The virus commonly spreads from person-to-person by air-borne droplets.

It can also spread by direct contact with the chickenpox or herpes lesions as these contain infectious fluid. See similar questions...
