Chickenpox, also known as varicella, is a highly contagious viral infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus. It primarily affects children but can occur in adults who have not been vaccinated or previously infected. Chickenpox is characterized by an itchy, blister-like rash that appears on the face, scalp, and body, along with fever, fatigue, and headache. While chickenpox is often mild, it can lead to serious complications, especially in adults, pregnant women, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
