[Varicella: clinical aspects and prevention]

Abstract:

:OBJECTIVE: To present, in practical form and updated terms, the clinical aspects of the varicella and its prevention using either vaccination or isolation precautions. METHOD: Review of the literature using MEDLINE and LILACS referring to the last 10 years; presentation of the most recent aspects in the literature as well as reference to the author's professional experience in the area. RESULTS: Current aspects of the clinic and treatment of this disease are analyzed. The vaccine is examined in relation to the soroconversion and safety. The technique of application of the vaccine is presented, considering its indication for healthy children, adults, seniors and high risk patients. Among these, we consider those with leukemia, solid tumors, nephrotic syndrome, AIDS, and those transplanted. The application of the vaccine is analyzed in relation to contacts, personal in the health area and people in closed communities. Precautions, contraindication, production and types of vaccines are analyzed. The association and combination of vaccines, as well as their current indications are carefully discussed. As a nosocomial infection, varicella requires much attention due to its very easy dissemination. Recommended procedures are indicated for both hospitalized and contact cases of varicella or zoster. CONCLUSIONS: The appropriate knowledge of the clinic, treatment and preventive procedures in cases of varicella is mostly important for the pediatrician, especially with the introduction of its vaccine in our country.
