Chickenpox incubation period. Chickenpox (varicella) is a common, highly contagious, viral infectious disease of childhood. Usually mild, itâs characterised by a very itchy rash that can spread over the whole body. In the UK, it is common and most cases occur during winter and spring.he incubation period is seven to 21 (usually 10 to 21) days after exposure to the herpes varicella-zoster virus to the development of the symptoms. The disease is most contagious a day or two before the rash appears and until the rash is completely dry and scabbed over, about five to six days after onset of the rash.
People with chickenpox are contagious a day or two before the rash appears and until all blisters have formed scabs. In children, chickenpox most commonly causes an illness that lasts about 5-10 days. Children usually miss 5 or 6 days of school or childcare due to their chickenpox.Their symptoms may include high fever, severe itching, an uncomfortable rash, dehydration, and headache.he name was meant to distinguish this weak form of the pox from smallpox. Chicken is used here, as in chickenhearted, to mean weak or timid. The pox of chickenpox is no major matter unless it becomes infected (through scratching) or occurs in an immunodeficient person.
