Chickenpox, head lice, hepatitis, ringworm, scarlet fever and many more are but a few of the common infections that affect children. This is a guide where one can drill down and read about common infections affecting children and how best to prevent them.

An example of this guide's drilldown function is shown below, with the infection of choice being Chicken Pox.

Chicken pox is a viral infection that is becoming less common due to the fact that children nowadays receive the chicken pox vaccine.  For those who still get chicken pox, they typically develop symptoms about 10 to 21 days after being exposed to someone with chicken pox.

Symptoms of chicken pox include that: children sometimes have a prodrome of fever, malaise, headache, lack of appetite, and mild abdominal pain for 1 to 2 days. Rashes typically appear first on a child's trunk, scalp, and face and consists of small, very itchy, flat red spots, which then turn into raised fluid filled vesicles.

The guide goes into great detail and is a helpful resource for anyone concerned with child infection control methodologies and best practices.
