Prevention of Chickenpox

Varicella is mainly a primary infection caused by some pox-like viruses. It is an impromptu skin disease characterized by systemic herpes. It is common in children and is highly contagious. It is prevalent in a community and can receive some attention in the future. The characteristics of the rash at each time are mainly that the number of approvals is relatively large and the symptoms are also relatively critical.

There are symptoms of pain and itching. The water hole is mainly for some benign self-limiting diseases. The flowers should be isolated and cared for to prevent some complications. They can donate blood for free and take some oral medications for timely treatment. Patients with high fever should pay attention to health care.

1. Isolate varicella patients. The clinical manifestations of VZV infection are varicella or herpes zoster, but the main source of infection for both is varicella patients. Isolating varicella patients is the key to preventing VZV infection. Varicella patients are highly contagious to children, and the management of infectious sources of varicella patients should include respiratory isolation and contact isolation. The patient's isolation period should be from the onset of the rash to 6 days after the onset of the rash, or until all chickenpox blisters are dry and crusted. Those without complications can be isolated at home and are not allowed to attend daycare or school before then; they should not go out to play or interact with other children, and should be prevented from coming into contact with susceptible pregnant women. The patient's respiratory secretions and contaminated supplies should be disinfected. Susceptible persons should be quarantined for 3 weeks after contact (observation can begin from the 11th day after contact).

2. To cut off the transmission route of VZV infection, ventilation in public places should be strengthened, or indoor air should be disinfected by ultraviolet irradiation. Washing hands thoroughly after contact with patients is a simple and effective measure to prevent the spread of VZV infection in hospitals.

3. Immunity protection measures for susceptible persons For pregnant women, children and immunocompromised persons who have not been infected with varicella-zoster virus, appropriate immunity protection measures should be taken according to different situations to avoid fetal malformation or severe varicella infection.

(1) Passive immunization: Intramuscular injection of 5 ml of high-titer VZV immune globulin within 72 hours after exposure has a preventive effect on chickenpox. Due to the inherent safety issues of blood products, the application of VZV immune globulin is limited to the following situations exposed to varicella patients: those with cellular immunodeficiency, those receiving long-term immunosuppressant treatment, and those with serious diseases such as leukemia, lymphoma and other malignant tumors. The reason is that once such patients are infected with VZV, they may develop severe varicella, the severity of which will outweigh certain risks associated with transfusion of blood products.

(2) Autoimmunity: In recent years, inactivated VZV vaccines or live attenuated vaccines have been tried, mainly for people at high risk of varicella. They have a certain preventive effect and are said to have a protective effect that can last for more than 10 years.

The above is the prevention of chickenpox, so the post-treatment of his new house in daily life is also more critical. In daily diet and health care, you should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement the vitamins in the body, drink more boiled water, take some oral medications for timely treatment of patients with high fever, and pay attention to health care taboos such as spicy and irritating foods and prohibit some tonics.
