  1. Varicella

    show more
    Description: Varicella - vesicle on an erythematous base over soft palate 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.
