What Is Chicken Pox?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
A lot of people over a certain age will be very familiar with chicken pox. It used to be a very common disease until a vaccine was developed and released in the mid-90s. Since then, instances of the disease have since plummeted in countries where the vaccine is common.
Despite being a fairly mild disease, chicken pox can still be dangerous in a small number of cases. Despite this, its high level of contagiousness meant that many individuals would develop serious problems. The disease has not completely disappeared, and it is a good idea to know what signs you should look out for.
