Chicken pox, caused by the varicella-zoster virus, is a highly contagious infection that can lead to serious complications, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Vaccination with the live-attenuated varicella vaccine is effective in preventing primary disease, while antiviral treatments can modify the course of the illness. The disease typically presents as an acute febrile rash, with various stages of lesions, and can have severe outcomes in neonates and adults.
