what is the incubation period for varicella?
433733
The average incubation period for varicella is 14 to 16 days after exposure to a varicella or a herpes zoster rash, with a range of 10 to 21 days. A mild prodrome of fever and malaise may occur 1 to 2 days before rash onset, particularly in adults. In children, the rash is often the first sign of disease.

The incubation period is 1-3 weeks. Ulcerative infection is likely transmitted by contact with microabraded skin.

Incubation period of varicella zoster virus The incubation period is 2–3 weeks and is usually 14–16 days. This may be prolonged in immunosuppressed persons or following immunoglobulin administration as passive immunisation against varicella.

The typical incubation period is three to eight weeks, but it can be as little as nine days or as long as several years in some rare cases. The incubation period depends on several factors, including the location of the entry wound, the severity of the wound and the animal's immune system.

The chickenpox rash usually occurs around 14 to 16 days after exposure. About 24 to 48 hours before the rash appears, the child will have a slight fever, loss of appetite and less energy. After the rash appears, the child will continue to have a slight fever. He may be irritable and fussy because of the itching.

It takes about 2 weeks (from 10 to 21 days) after exposure to a person with chickenpox or shingles for someone to develop chickenpox.

The varicella vaccine is given as a shot when kids are between 12 and 15 months old. They get a booster shot for further protection at 4 to 6 years of age. Kids who are older than 6 but younger than 13 who have not had chickenpox also may get the vaccine, with the 2 doses given 3 months apart.

Varicella Zoster Antibody Screen. Primary infection with varicella zoster virus causes chickenpox, while reactivation of the virus is responsible for varicella zoster, or shingles. Varicella is highly contagious with secondary attack rates of 90% for susceptible household contacts.

Until information is available, it is prudent to apply the same rules to varicella vaccine as are applied to MMR: a TST (i.e., PPD) may be applied before (preferably) or simultaneously with varicella vaccine. If vaccine has been given, delay the TST for at least 4 weeks.

In people, the incubation period (the time between initial contact with the virus and onset of the disease) generally ranges from two to eight weeks. In rare cases, it can vary from 10 days to 2 years. The incubation period is shorter in children and in people exposed to a large dose of the rabies virus.

You may have a fever, chills, chest pain, a dry cough, and a rash. The time from contact with the fungus until symptoms start is usually 1 to 3 weeks. This is called the incubation period. In rare cases, valley fever can spread to the skin, bones, lymph nodes, and organs.

Incubation period of impetigo The incubation period is the time between being exposed to the bacteria and the development of signs and symptoms. The incubation period is usually one to three days for streptococcal infections and four to 10 days for staphylococcal infections.
697020
Incubation times before the appearance of symptoms vary among pathogens. Rhinoviruses and group A streptococci may incubate for 1-5 days, influenza and parainfluenza may incubate for 1-4 days, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) may incubate for a week.
808569
After the initial viral exposure, an incubation period of 2–20 days is common. Although a prodrome of fever and malaise may be observed, most often initial symptoms are pain and burning or tingling of the infected digit.

Once a child is exposed to the virus, there is an incubation period of 2 to 14 days before he has symptoms. The incubation period for gastroenteritis can range from 3 to 10 days.
670932
The varicella vaccine is given in two doses. A child should have the first shot at ages 12-18 months. The second shot should be given at ages 4-6 years. Older children and adults should have two shots, with four to eight weeks between the first and second shot.

The average incubation period for an initial herpes infection is 4 days (range, 2 to 12) after exposure. The vesicles break and leave painful ulcers that may take two to four weeks to heal after the initial herpes infection. Experiencing these symptoms is referred to as having a first herpes “outbreak” or episode.
