Презентация для студентов по Иностранному языку в профессиональной деятельности ( английскому) на тему "Chickenpox"

CHICKENPOX

Chickenpox (chicken pox), also known as varicella, is a highly contagious infection caused by the varicella zoster virus.

Although uncomfortable, most people recover within 1-2 weeks.

The illness begins with fever

Slight headache and listlessness

Within a day or 2 spots appear on the chest or back (which soon look like small blisters)

Such new “crops” keep appearing for 2-3 days and ones get scrubbed over

Chickenpox is usually a mild disease and there is no particular treatment, except to keep the skin clean and use some soothing lotion for itching

The itching can also be relieved by bathing the child with a small quantity of soda 2-3 times a day

Antihistamine syrup to relieve itching should only be given under medical advise

A vaccine is available for varicella. For children, 2 doses of the varicella vaccine are given, one at 12 to 15 months and one at age 4 to 6 years.

These are   effective at preventing chickenpox.
