Chickenpox, caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), is a highly contagious viral infection primarily affecting children but can also occur in adults. This abstract provides an overview of the clinical features of chickenpox at the present stage. The incubation period ranges from 10 to 21 days, followed by a prodromal phase characterized by nonspecific symptoms. The hallmark clinical feature is the development of a characteristic rash, starting as red macules and progressing into fluid-filled vesicles that crust over. Itching is a common symptom associated with the rash. Fever, typically mild to moderate, is a common accompaniment. Respiratory symptoms, such as cough, sore throat, or runny nose, may occur in some cases. General discomfort, including body aches and headache, is also observed. Awareness of these clinical features aids in early diagnosis and appropriate management. Preventive measures, including vaccination, are crucial for reducing the incidence and severity of chickenpox.

From January 2022 to December 2022, 201 patients aged 2 months to 52 years were treated at the Bukhara Regional Infectious Diseases Hospital, including 126 (63%) children aged 2 months to 17 years and 75 (37%) adults aged 18 to 52 years. patients, most of whom were men. Epidemiological and anamnestic anamnesis, the clinical course of the disease, and clinical-laboratory results were analyzed in all patients, and characteristics of the clinical course in children and older patients with chicken pox were studied.
