Chickenpox
Chickenpox is a highly contagious infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus. It typically affects children, but adults who have not had chickenpox before can also become infected. The illness is characterized by an itchy rash and red spots or blisters (vesicles) all over the body. Although generally mild in children, it can sometimes lead to complications, particularly in adults, pregnant women, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
