Chickenpox is a highly contagious infection caused by a virus that produces an itchy rash of small blisters, typically starting on the chest and face, along with fever and fatigue that usually last about a week. While the disease is typically mild, it can occasionally lead to serious complications like pneumonia or brain inflammation, and tends to be more severe in adults.

La varicelle ou petite vérole volante, classique sous sa forme de maladie infantile éruptive fréquente en milieu tempéré, touche plus tardivement l'adulte en milieu tropical où elle est tout aussi caractérisée par sa très grande contagiosité, exposant ainsi femme enceinte et fœtus. Elle traduit la primo-infection par le virus varicelle-zona ou VZV, virus de la famille Herpesviridae. Ce n'est qu'en milieu tempéré et sans doute urbain, loin de l'équateur, sauf vaccination, qu'elle survient spontanément dans plus de 90 % des cas chez l'enfant entre 1 et 15 ans. Sa période d’incubation est de 14 jours en moyenne (de 10 à 21 jours). Il existe un vaccin, qui peut être recommandé, ou non, dans les routines de vaccin selon les pays. Généralement bénigne chez l'enfant bien portant, elle peut être redoutable et mortelle chez l'adulte non immunisé, l'immunodéprimé, la femme enceinte et le nouveau-né.
