Chickenpox is a group of infectious diseases caused by varicella zoster virus infection. The infectious period is 1-2 days before the onset of the disease until the rash is completely scabbed, which takes about 14 days. If the chickenpox is partially scabbed and some chickenpox is not completely scabbed, it is highly infectious. If the chickenpox is completely scabbed and shed, it means that the patient is no longer infectious. Chickenpox is mainly transmitted through the respiratory tract, so chickenpox patients must pay attention to respiratory isolation. Some patients will also be infected through direct contact, so try to prevent direct contact with the patient's diseased skin.
