Treatment of Chickenpox


We suggest NOT treating uncomplicated varicella in otherwise healthy children less than 12 years of age due to the modest benefits of acyclovir .

 
We recommend acyclovir for the treatment of varicella in the following children who are at increased risk of complicated disease: those who are 12 years of age or older, those with chronic cutaneous or pulmonary disorders, or in those individuals taking steroid or salicylate therapy

 
We suggest acyclovir treatment for secondary contacts since these individuals are at increased risk for more severe disease

 
We recommend oral acyclovir (20 mg/kg PO four times daily for five days) for adults with uncomplicated varicella
