How is chickenpox contagious?

summary

Chickenpox is a very common acute infectious disease in our life. It is very infectious, so the infection rate is also very high. It is mainly caused by varicella zoster virus. It mainly occurs in children aged from two to ten years old. Without vaccination, it is easy to have chickenpox in groups, So let's understand how chickenpox is transmitted.

How is chickenpox contagious?

Through the human respiratory tract infection. We need to know that the pathogen of varicella zoster virus exists in the herpes pus, blood and oral secretion of patients. So in contact with patients, even when talking, the droplets may also spread through the respiratory tract. At this time, people with low resistance or without vaccination are prone to be infected with chickenpox.

Chickenpox is transmitted through contact. The items that the varicella patients have come into contact with, such as toys played by children, tableware and personal items, will carry varicella zoster virus. At this time, if the items used by the patients are used by other people without timely disinfection, it will lead to infection. This is also why chickenpox is easy to break out in the collective.

It is transmitted by contact with varicella zoster. Although this way of transmission is relatively small, there are indeed susceptible groups, such as children and unvaccinated people, who have contracted chickenpox after contacting patients with herpes.

matters needing attention

It is precisely because of the high infectivity of chickenpox, so patients with chickenpox should be actively treated, and in order not to infect others, should avoid going to crowded places, take isolation measures, until chickenpox cured. The method of preventing varicella is also very simple. We should cultivate a good health habit, avoid the occurrence of cross infection, and timely vaccinate varicella vaccine, which is also an important means of preventing varicella.?
