What symptom does smallpox disease have?
Smallpox is actually a disease caused by smallpox virus. At the beginning, it was just a pox like disease without obvious harm to poultry. However, in some cases, due to frequent contact between poultry and human beings, human beings infected with smallpox virus will be infected with severe symptoms of smallpox.
The incubation period of smallpox is generally 7 to 17 days. In the initial stage of infection, patients will have some high fever, headache, fatigue and other symptoms. The most typical symptom of smallpox is red papules on the skin. In severe cases, papules will evolve into blisters, and finally become pustules, and then pus will appear.
Patients with benign smallpox infection will only have some lesions on the surface of the skin, which will not cause secondary bacterial infection. General smallpox patients will not be infected with smallpox again after recovery, because the body has immunity to smallpox, so now smallpox will not happen again.
