Sat, 27 November 2004 03:11 You have chickenpox ONCE - this confers immunity for life. In older age or in immunocompromised states, one can have a recrudescence as shingles. This is where the pox are confined to a dermatome or two. Chickenpox as an adolescent/adult is more dangerous as the incidence of meningoencephalitis and varicella pneumonia is increased (though still uncommon - about 1 in 400 adults). The pneumonia is life threatening - we recently put a young guy on a heart-lung machine for a few days till his lungs got better. We give acyclovir to those patients with life threatening complications, but not to those sods who only have the skin rash - if used early, it only reduces the duration of rash by a day. To the person who suggested infertility is common, I believe you actually are referring to mumps. As far as the scratching goes, trim and file your nails or wear mittens.
