Chicken pox, or varicella, is an acute, highly contagious disease caused by the varicella zoster virus. It has an incubation period of 10-21 days and is characterized by crops of fluid-filled lesions that appear first on the face and neck, then spread to the trunk and rest of the body. The virus spreads through direct contact with infected individuals or droplets from their respiratory secretions.
