Introduction. The causative agent of chickenpox is ubiquitous. In children, especially with a burdened premorbid background, there is a high incidence of severe forms and complications.Aim. To study the course of chickenpox in children in modern conditions.Material and methods. 58 pediatricians (group 1), 42 parents of children aged 0 to 3 years (group 2) and 43 parents of children aged 3 to 6 years (group 3) were surveyed.Results and discussion. In the 1st group, 224 children (73.68%) had a long period of rashes, 57 children (18.75%) had a mild and not long period. At the age of 16, unvaccinated children first fell ill with chickenpox. In 23 patients (7.57%), there were obvious clinical manifestations of chickenpox with a pronounced and prolonged intoxication syndrome. In 67.43%, a positive Mantoux test was recorded with an increase in papule and corolla of hyperemia in dynamics. The development of complications significantly more often (p = 0.0429) was recorded in the group of children with aggravated premorbid background. All pediatricians are positive about vaccination. In the 2nd group, out of 37.5% of parents who are against vaccination, 16.67% believe that the vaccine does not always have a positive effect on the health of the child. The ineffectiveness of vaccines is recognized by 45.83% of respondents. 40.47% of children have not been vaccinated and they do not have vaccination certificates. In the 3rd group, 32.56% of children were ill with chickenpox, of which 79.07% had a mild form of the disease. 67.44% have a positive attitude towards vaccination against chickenpox. The coverage of all vaccines according to the National calendar was 100%.Conclusion. Chickenpox is a serious unsafe infectious disease that requires specific prophylaxis.

Introduction. Given the unfavorable epidemic situation with chickenpox and shingles in Russia, there is a high risk of virus introduction and spread in healthcare settings, including among medical staff who are not immune to varicella zoster virus (VZV). The objective of this study is to assess the immunity of employees of a multidisciplinary hospital in Moscow to VZV. Materials and methods. A selective screening study was carried out. Venous blood serum samples were taken from 1546 hospital employees as material for detection of IgG antibodies to VZV antigens using a commercial solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) test system "Vecto VZV-IgG". All employees were questioned to obtain information about their infectious and vaccine history in relation to VZV. Results and discussion. Screening for antibodies to VZV in the hospital workers revealed that 6.3% of those workers are not immune to VZV. The proportion of seronegative individuals was the highest (12.6 ± 2.4%) in the age group of 29 years and younger. VZV seronegative healthcare workers were found in various departments, but the presence of non-immune individuals among the staff of the obstetrics and gynecology departments (6.5%) is of epidemiologic concern. The results of the survey showed that documented data on infection and vaccination history cannot be used to assess the protection of healthcare workers against VZV infection. Conclusion. The results of serologic screening for antibodies to VZV made it possible to identify a significant number of susceptible employees of the multidisciplinary hospital. In order to prevent the formation of multiple epidemic foci of varicella in medical organizations, it is advisable to include anti-VZV testing of medical staff in the state prevention programs with subsequent vaccination of non-immune individuals.
