VIRAL ERUPTIVE FEVERS : MEASLES , CHICKEN POX etc.

Viral fevers are highly contagious and they are usually airborne disease which spreads easily through the coughs and sneezes of an infected person. The disease spreads through the air by respiratory droplets produced from coughing or sneezing.An elevation of body temperature above the normal range of 36.5-37.7°C and even upto 40°C is possible.

Usually , small children or the persons who are not previously exposed to measles , chicken pox etc. are affected by them . Once affected , and usually there is no fear of  recurrence . But some patients may be immune-compromised ( due to old age , malnutrition , T.B. , Diabetes Mellitus , AIDS , Cancer etc. ) . Due to the reduced immunity , they have the chances of recurrence of these types of viral  infections .

A popular misconception :

Many people think  that ,proteins like egg , meat , fish etc. are prohibited , if suffering from these viral infections . But in these cases , the body immunity is seriously reduced and the chances of being affected by secondary bacterial infections is increased . One may suffer from severe diarrhoea or respiratory tract infection due to it . So to increase the immunity , protein is essential in this period . Usually egg , meat etc. are not advised , as they may disturb the digestive functions in some patients . But fish is very much beneficial for them .
