AI overview

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.
