Chickenpox/Shingles
Chickenpox/Shingles ( 24 Questions)
Chickenpox and shingles are viral infections, and while they can cause systemic symptoms, they are not directly linked to heart disease.
The complications of chickenpox go beyond bacterial skin infections. While bacterial superinfections are possible, the more severe complications are associated with the virus itself.
Shingles is characterized by a localized rash along the distribution of a sensory nerve, not a generalized vesicular rash.
Complications of both chickenpox and shingles include pneumonia, encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), and postherpetic neuralgia (persistent nerve pain following shingles) These complications can be serious and require medical attention.
