Chickenpox is a disease caused by a virus called Varicella zoster. It is an extremely contagious disease. It starts as a rash with itching, which disappears later. It can affect several organs.
Though the disease is common in children, anyone can be affected. In children, the infection is mild but in adults, it can cause severe illness with several complications. Once infected, a lifelong immunity is obtained, protecting the individual from further attacks.
