Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, a highly contagious . It spreads through direct contact with an infected person’s skin lesions or respiratory droplets from coughing or sneezing. The virus enters the body, typically through the respiratory tract, and replicates, causing symptoms like fever and itchy blisters.
People are most contagious 1-2 days before the rash appears until all lesions crust over. Those with weakened immune systems or unvaccinated individuals are at higher risk. Vaccination significantly reduces infection rates, though breakthrough cases can occur.
