Varicella (more commonly known as chicken-pox) is a common, infectious disease that usually presents in childhood. Varicella causes an itchy, red rash across large portions of the body, along with headaches, tiredness and general feelings of illness. Although the majority of varicella cases resolve on their own, some patients can develop complications requiring treatment and in the most severe cases, hospitalisation.
Aim: To assess and characterize the use of antibiotics for the treatment and management of varicella and its associated complications in the paediatric population in the UK.
