- Title:
- Varicella, Vesicles
- Description:
- Vesicles - circumscribed skin elevation measuring < 1 cm containing clear fluid, e.g. varicella (chicken pox)
An acute, highly contagious, viral disease, with mild constitutional symptoms and a maculopapular vesicular skin eruption; it is a common childhood disease and is rarely severe, but it can be accompanied by severe symptoms in infants and adults. It is usually spread by either contact with blisters or droplet infection, and the average incubation period is 10 to 16 days. The period of contagion lasts about two weeks, beginning two days before the rash appears. The causative virus is human herpesvirus 3 (formerly known as varicella-zoster virus). The same virus also causes herpes zoster (shingles), with the differences in the two diseases probably reflecting differences in the response to the virus. Called also varicella.

Herpes genitalis is a chronic infection caused by type 2 herpes simplex virus (HSV2), usually transmitted by sexual contact. It causes painful vesicular eruptions on the skin and mucous membranes of the genitalia of males and females. When acquired during pregnancy, HSV2 may be transmitted through the placenta to the fetus and to the newborn by direct contact with infected tissue during birth. It can be a precursor of cervical cancer.
