What is Understanding Smallpox: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment about?
Smallpox is a viral disease caused by the variola virus that spreads through respiratory droplets. The symptoms start with fever, fatigue and joint pain followed by a red rash that develops fluid-filled blisters and leaves scabs. There is no animal reservoir or carrier for the virus, which spreads directly between people. While vaccination provides protection, treatment focuses on relieving symptoms as the virus runs its course and the body develops immunity.
