Chicken Pox (varicella) is a contagious disease, usually seen in children. It is characterized by fever and a small blistering eruption. The same pox virus also produces herpes zoster or “shingles”, characterized by a one-sided segmental inflammation of one spinal or cranial nerve. Painful localized blisters erupt on the skin over the distribution of the small nerve. Although chicken pox is more highly contagious, shingles is more distressing. Severe pain often lasts for weeks to months, particularly in older individuals. Acute shingles as well as post-herpetic neuralgia may respond to fever therapy, given early in the course of the disease. Given in the form of steam bath or at home in a bathtub, specific fever treatments can thwart the infection early and prevent many complications.
