Lifestyle lifestyle,The spring season has come amid heavy rains! Doctors say that the outbreak of spring ie chickenpox has increased in this monsoon. Some cases of infection are also coming up again. Experts hold the lack of awareness about vaccination for this increase in smallpox cases.

Why? Doctors are seeing that chickenpox is affecting children and teenagers as well as people between 18 and 45 years of age. And unlike the general perception, one in 10 person is getting infected for the second time! That is why doctors are advocating vaccines.

Chickenpox occurs in people of almost all ages and is a year. However, it is more common in winter end and spring. The reason for this is the Varisella Zoster virus. Once infected, chickenpox is very low.

Because, after one infection, the immune system recognizes this virus, which does not cause another infection. But doctors say that many people are getting infected again even after getting vaccinated or once a smallpox.

Infectious pathologist Yogiraj Roy says that in 10% of cases, there may be again infection. However, after second time or after vaccination, the infection is usually not severe.

Another infectious pathologist Sion Chakraborty said, “Children are still vaccinated. But adults have great reluctance and lack of awareness to get smallpox vaccine. However, the vaccine can prevent smallpox to a great extent.”

“And it is not common to have a re -infection. If for some reason the immunity is weak, smallpox can occur again.” He reported that in other years, chickenpox was seen in the rainy season. But this time, two to three patients are coming to them every week. Medicine expert Narayan Banerjee has the same experience.

Pediatrician Shantanu Roy is therefore advocated for vaccination and says, “Whatever the age, it is necessary to get a vaccine for Varisella to protect against chickenpox.” Microbiology expert Saugat Ghosh says that otherwise, it is difficult to completely eliminate the risk of infection.

Because this disease is very contagious, 90% of people coming in contact with infected person are at risk of getting infected. Therefore, if you suspect that you have smallpox, it is necessary to keep the patient separate. The initial symptoms of this disease are grains like blisters on the skin.

The patient needs to be isolated for about seven days from the day of the grain. This is because the infection spreads through the patient’s sneezing, coughing through his nose and mouth drops and fluid present in the skin rash. If the rash dries and peeled in a day or two, there is no risk of spreading the disease.
