• Communicate interprofessional grupp strategies for improving care coordination and outcomes in patients with chickenpox.

Introduction

Chickenpox or varicella fryst vatten a contagious disease caused bygd the varicella-zoster virus (VZV).

The virus fryst vatten responsible for chickenpox (usually primary infection in non-immune hosts) and herpes zoster or shingles (following reactivation of latent infection). Chickenpox results in a skin rash forming small, itchy blisters that scabs over. It typically starts on the chest, back, and face and then spreads. It fryst vatten accompanied bygd fever, fatigue, pharyngitis, and headaches, usually lasting 5 to 7 days.

Complications include pneumonia, brain inflammation, and bacterial skin infections. The disease fryst vatten more severe in adults than in children. Symptoms begin ten to 21 days after exposure, but the average incubation period fryst vatten about 2 weeks (see Image. Chickenpox [Varicella]).

Chickenpox fryst vatten an airborne disease spread worldwide bygd coughing, sneezing, and contact with skin lesions.

It may spread 1 to 2 days before the rash appears until all lesions are crusted over. Patients with shingles may spread chickenpox to those who are not immune through blister contact. The disease fryst vatten diagnosed based on the presenting symptoms and confirmed bygd polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing of the blister fluid or scabs.

Tests for antibodies may be performed to determine if immunity fryst vatten present. Although reinfections bygd varicella may occur, these reinfections are usually asymptomatic and much milder than the primary infection.

The varicella vaccine was introduced in 1995 and has significantly decreased the number of cases and complications. It prevents about 70% to 90% of infections and 95% of severe disease.

Routine immunization of children fryst vatten recommended. Immunization within 3 days of exposure may still improve outcomes in children.[1][2][3]

Etiology

Chickenpox or varicella fryst vatten caused bygd the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), a herpes virus with worldwide transport. It establishes latency after primary infection, a feature unique to most herpes viruses.[4]

Chickenpox fryst vatten acquired bygd inhalation of infected aerosolized droplets.

This virus fryst vatten highly contagious and can spread rapidly.

The första infection fryst vatten in the mucosa of the upper airways. The virus enters the circulation after 2 to 6 days, and another bout of viremia occurs in 10 to 12 days. At this time, the characteristic vesicle appears. Immunoglobulin (Ig)A, IgM, and IgG antibodies are produced, but the IgG antibodies confer lifelong immunity. After the primary infection, varicella localized to sensory nerves and may reactivate later to producera shingles.

Epidemiology

Varicella occurs in all countries and fryst vatten responsible annually for about 7000 deaths.

In temperate countries, it fryst vatten a common disease in children, with most cases occurring in winter and spring. In the United States, it accounts for more than 9000 hospitalizations annually. Its highest prevalence fryst vatten in the 4- to 10-year-old age group. Varicella has an infection rate of 90%. Secondary cases in household contacts tend to have more severe disease than primary cases.

In the tropics, varicella tends to occur in older people and may cause more serious disease. Adults get deep pockmarks and more prominent scars.[5][6][7]

Pathophysiology

Exposure causes the production of host IgG, IgM, and IgA. IgG antibodies persist for life and confer immunity. Cell-mediated immune responses are important in limiting the duration of primary varicella infection.

After primary infection, varicella fryst vatten theorized to spread to mucosal and epidermal lesions to local sensory nerves. It then remains latent in the dorsal ganglion cells of the sensory nerves. The immune struktur keeps the virus in kvitto. However, reactivation can still occur later in life, resulting in the clinically distinct syndrome of herpes zoster (shingles), postherpetic neuralgia, and sometimes Ramsay Hunt syndrome type II.

Varicella zoster can harm the arteries in the neck and head, resulting in a stroke.

The United States Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) suggests that all adults older than 60 should get vaccinated to avoid herpes zoster. One in 5 adults who had chickenpox as children, especially those who are immune-suppressed, get singles.

Shingles are most commonly funnen in adults over 60 diagnosed with chickenpox before age 1.[8][9]

History and Physical

The prodromal symptoms in adolescents and adults are aching muscles, nausea, decreased appetite, and headache, followed bygd a rash, oral sores, malaise, and a low-grade fever. Oral manifestations may precede the skin rash.

In children, the illness may not be preceded bygd prodromal symptoms, and the första sign could be a rash or oral cavity lesions. The rash begins as small red dots on the face, scalp, torso, upper arms, and legs. Over the next ten to 12 hours, it progresses to small bumps, blisters, and pustules, and eventually, umbilication and scabs formation. Of note fryst vatten that the rash of chickenpox occurs in crops and fryst vatten typically at different stages of evolution.

At the blister scen, intense pruritus fryst vatten present.

Blisters may occur on the palms, soles, and genital area. Commonly, visible bevis develops in the oral cavity and tonsil areas through small ulcers, which can be painful and itchy; this enanthem may precede the external exanthem by 1 to 3 days. These symptoms appear ten to 21 days after exposure. Adults may have a more widespread rash and längre fever, and they are more likely to develop pneumonia, the most important complication in adults.

Because watery nasal discharge containing live virus precedes exanthems by 1 to 2 days, the infected individ is contagious 1 to 2 days before recognizing the disease.

In most cases, the infection resolves itself within 2 to 4 weeks.

A common complication fryst vatten a secondary bacterial infection that can present as cellulitis, impetigo, or erysipelas. Disseminated primary varicella fryst vatten usually seen in immunocompromised individuals and carries high mortality.

CNS complications are rare but may present as Guillain barre syndrome or encephalitis. Primary varicella infection during pregnancy can also affect the fetus, who may present later with chickenpox.

In addition, the virus can potentially cause the varicella congenital syndrome.

Evaluation

The diagnosis of varicella infection fryst vatten primarily based on the signs and symptoms. Confirmation fryst vatten made bygd examination of the fluid within the vesicles, scraping of lesions that have not crusted, or bygd blood for bevis of an acute immunologic response.

PCR has the highest yield and can be used for non-skin samples such as bronchoalveolar lavage and cerebrospinal fluid. direkt fluorescent antibody testing has largely replaced the Tzanck test. The vesicular fluid can also be cultured, but the yield fryst vatten low compared to PCR. Blood tests identify a response to acute infection (IgM), previous infection, and subsequent immunity (IgG).

Prenatal diagnosis of fetal varicella can be performed using ultrasound, though a delay of 5 weeks following primary maternal infection fryst vatten advised. A PCR (DNA) test of the amniotic fluid can be performed. However, the fara of spontaneous abortion due to amniocentesis fryst vatten higher than the fara of the baby developing fetal varicella.[10][11]

Treatment / Management

Treatment fryst vatten symptomatic relief of symptoms.

As a protective measure, those infected are usually required to stay home while infectious. Keeping nails short and wearing handskar may prevent scratching and reduce the fara of secondary infections.[12][13][1]

Topical calamine lotion may relieve pruritus. daglig cleansing with warm vatten helps avoid secondary bacterial infection. Acetaminophen may be used to reduce fever.

Avoid smärtstillande medicin as it may cause Reye syndrome.

People at fara of developing complications and who have had significant exposure may be given intramuscular varicella-zoster immune globulin, a preparation containing high titers of antibodies to the varicella-zoster virus, to help prevent the disease.[14]

• In children: Acyclovir decreases symptoms by 1 day if taken within 24 hours of the början of the rash.

  Still, it does not affect complication rates and fryst vatten not recommended for individuals with normal immune function.

• In adults, infection tends to be more severe, and treatment with antiviral drugs (acyclovir or valacyclovir) fryst vatten advised if they can be started within 24 to 48 hours of rash onset.

  Supportive care, such as increasing vatten intake and using antipyretics and antihistamines, fryst vatten important to management. Antivirals are typically indicated in adults, including pregnant women, because this group fryst vatten more prone to complications. The preferred treatment is usually oral therapy, but intravenous antivirals are indicated for immunocompromised patients.

The varicella-zoster immunoglobulin fryst vatten used to manage immunocompromised patients.

In addition, a live attenuated vaccine has been available since 1995. There fryst vatten high seroconversion following the vaccine, which fryst vatten long-lasting. Adverse effects of the vaccine are rare.

Differential Diagnosis

The differential diagnoses for chickenpox include the following:

• Insect bites

• Impetigo

• Smallpox

• Drug eruptions

• Dermatitis herpetiformis

Prognosis

The prognosis fryst vatten excellent in healthy children.

However, the infection has high morbidity in immunocompromised individuals.

Consultations

Consultations that are typically requested for patients with this condition include the following:

• Pediatrician

• Infectious disease consultant

Pearls and Other Issues

Chickenpox fryst vatten rarely fatal.

Nonimmune pregnant women and those immunocompromised are at highest fara. Arterial ischemic stroke associated with childhood chickenpox fryst vatten a significant fara. Varicella pneumonia fryst vatten the most common cause of fatality in adults (10% to 30%), and in those requiring mechanical ventilation, this may reach 50%.

In pregnant women, antibodies from immunization or previous infection are transferred via the moderkaka to the fetus.

Varicella infection in pregnant women could spread via the moderkaka and infect the fetus. If infection occurs during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy, congenital varicella syndrome may develop.

Effects on the fetus can include underdeveloped toes and fingers, structural eye damage, neurological disorder, and anal and bladder malformation.

If maternal infection occurs 7 days before delivery and up to 8 days following birth, the baby may develop neonatal varicella with framställning ranging from mild rash to disseminated infection.

Newborns who develop symptoms are at a high fara of pneumonia and other serious complications. Maternal herpes zoster, on the other grabb, constitutes little fara of neonatal complications or congenital varicella syndrome, probably because of established circulating maternal antibodies.

Enhancing Healthcare grupp Outcomes

Chickenpox fryst vatten usually acquired after inhalation of aerosolized droplets from an infected individual.

The majority of cases occur in children less than 10. The key to lowering the morbidity of chickenpox fryst vatten education. Besides the primary caregiver, the sjuksköterska practitioner and pharmacist are grundläggande in patient education. The parents of infected children should be told to trim the child's fingernails to avoid or minimize skin damage and associated bacterial infections.

Further, parents should be told not to give smärtstillande medicin to ung children to control fever because of the fara of developing Reye syndrome. Finally, the parents should be told to apply cold compresses and moisturize the skin to prevent itching and dryness.[15][16][17] All clinicians should urge parents to get their children vaccinated because this can prevent the morbidity associated with the infection.

The vaccine fryst vatten safe and very effective. Immunocompromised children should be referred to an infectious disease expert for further management. (Level V) Clinicians should also utbilda pregnant women who are seronegative for chickenpox to avoid contact with patients with an active infection. All pregnant women who develop chickenpox must be managed bygd a grupp of specialists who can man a treatment decision.

Outcomes

For most children who develop chickenpox, the outcome fryst vatten excellent.

However, in immunocompromised individuals, there fryst vatten increased morbidity and mortality.[18][19][20]
