A member asked:
What body system does chicken pox affect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mainly skin: It mainly affects the skin, giving you itchy rash with blisters. But since it's a systemic viral infection, you can also feel generally sick, with nausea, loss of appetite, aching muscles, fever and headache. Those symptoms may begin before the rash.
