Is this illness contagious?
Chickenpox is very contagious. A child with chickenpox is
contagious from about 2 days before the rash appears until all
the blisters are crusted over.
Ways in which the disease is spread
1. Through airborne particles emitted when talking, sneezing or
coughing.
2. Through direct contact with the skin or by touching a blister or
the liquid from a blister.
3. Through mixing of healthy children with children who have the
illness.
Ways in which the disease is spread
In general, chickenpox is not serious in most children; but it may
be dangerous for children who have low immunity or are
receiving medication that suppresses the immune system. In
pregnant women, chickenpox may be severe and if it is caught in
early pregnancy, there is a small risk of harm to the foetus.

Prevention and treatment of chickenpox
1. A vaccine is available that offers protection against chickenpox.
2. Keep the sick child isolated as much as possible for a week
from when the rash first appears.
3. Use creams to stop the itching, such as calamine lotion. This
will prevent contamination of the spots. But be careful not to use
too much, because doing so will cause the skin to become drier,
which will make the itching worse.
4. Clip the child’s nails to avoid possible complications resulting
from scratching.
5. Aspirin must not be given to a child who has chickenpox.
Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) may offer some relief.
6. It is not possible to treat chickenpox with antibiotics, because
the cause of this sickness is a virus.
7. Children receiving drugs that suppress the immune system, and
others who are at risk, may be given varicella zoster immune
globulin after exposure to chickenpox to reduce its severity.
Poliomyelitis
Poliomyelitis, or polio, is a viral infection caused by poliovirus. It
most commonly spreads in the late summer and early fall. This
virus affects the central nervous system and varies in severity;
sometimes it is severe and sometimes it is relatively mild. It may
result in permanent paralysis in some parts of the body.
