A member asked:
Does chicken pox usually cause many symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually Not: Mostly an itchy rash. But sometimes complications such as pneumonia, encephalitis, liver disease, serious skin infections, "flesheating" bacteria, reye's syndrome and death can occur. These are fortunately rare. Immunize for prevention of any risk.
