Chickenpox = Varicella zoster

Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), also known as human herpes virus 3 (HHV-3), one of the eight herpes viruses known to affect humans. It starts with conjunctival and catarrhal symptoms and then characteristic spots appearing in two or three waves, mainly on the body and head rather than the hands and becoming itchy raw pox (pocks), small open sores which heal mostly without scarring.

Last week kena chickenpox - seminggu duduk rumah. Boring tak de apa nak buat tengok t.v dan tidur je la.
