CHICKEN POX
![Page 4: Airborne Diseases](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d17c1a28ab9b0296bbc1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
CHICKEN POX
• Etiologic agent:– Human herpes virus 3 (Varicella-Zoster virus)
• Source:– Secretion of respiratory tract– Lesions on skin– Contagious 1-2 days before appearance of
exanthem
![Page 5: Airborne Diseases](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d17c1a28ab9b0296bbc1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
CHICKEN POX
• Description:– Acute, infectious– Sudden onset with slight fever– Macupapular rash – Vesicular lesions (3-4 days)
• Herpes zoster (shingles)– Recurrent infection
![Page 6: Airborne Diseases](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d17c1a28ab9b0296bbc1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Lesions – more on covered than exposed parts of the body (scalp/mucus membrane of resp tract)
• Causes, incidence, and risk factors• After you get chickenpox, the virus remains inactive (becomes dormant) in certain nerves in
the body. Shingles occurs after the virus becomes active again in these nerves years later.• The reason the virus suddenly becomes active again is not clear. Often only one attack occurs.• Shingles may develop in any age group, but you are more likely to develop the condition if:• You are older than 60• You had chickenpox before age 1• Your immune system is weakened by medications or disease• If an adult or child has direct contact with the shingles rash and did not have chickenpox as a
child or a chickenpox vaccine, they can develop chickenpox, not shingles.Expectations (prognosis)• Herpes zoster usually clears up in 2 to 3 weeks and rarely returns. If the virus affects the
nerves that control movement (the motor nerves), you may have temporary or permanent weakness or paralysis.
• Sometimes, the pain in the area where the shingles occurred may last from months to years. This pain is called postherpetic neuralgia.
• Postherpetic neuralgia is more likely to occur in people over age 60. It occurs when the nerves have been damaged after an outbreak of shingles. Pain ranges from mild to very severe.

• Description:– Death is due to complications:
• Secondary pneumonia• Usually children under 2 years old• Severe among malnurished children
A pneumonia that develops as a secondary disorder from other diseases that weaken the lungs or the body's immune system..

MEASLES
• Mode of Transmission– Droplet spread– Direct contact– Articles freshly soiled with secretion of nose
and throat• Incubation period
– 10 days from exposure to appearance of fever – 14 days until rash appears
![Page 17: Airborne Diseases](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5695d17c1a28ab9b0296bbc1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
MEASLES
• Period of Communicability:– Period of coryza

before the baby is born are immune for the first months of life
– Permanent acquired immunity is after an attack of measles
