Varicella. (= "chickenpox")

As with penicilliosis where we can observe all stages of the development of lesions at the same time. However, unlike penicilliosis, Varicella is a generalized vesicular disease with no umbilicated papules and no inflamation under the new vesicules (1)... Only the final evolution of vesicules (2) (hemorrhagic lesion +/- secondary infection/inflamation) looks like typical penicilliosis lesions. (See "17-varicella"&"30-penicilliosis")
