Smallpox is a contagious, disfiguring and often deadly disease that has affected humans for thousands of years. It causes changes to the skin.


The first symptoms of smallpox include a high fever, fatigue, a headache, and a backache. After 2 to 3 days of illness, a flat, red rash appears. It usually starts on the face and upper arms, and then it spreads all over your body.

Smallpox is a highly contagious viral disease that causes fever, rash, and blisters. It can affect the skin, eyes, and respiratory system, and can lead to serious complications or death. The disease was eradicated through vaccination efforts in 1980.

Smallpox is a contagious and sometimes fatal disease caused by the variola virus. The disease is characterized by fever and a distinctive rash that forms blisters on the skin, which then scab over and fall off.

Symptoms of smallpox usually appear 10-14 days after infection and include:

High fever

Headache

Body aches

Back pain

Vomiting

Rash on the face, arms, and legs that progresses to the trunk

Blisters that fill with clear fluid and then become pus-filled and crusty

Scabs that fall off after about three weeks, leaving scars

Smallpox primarily affects the skin, but it can also affect other organs, such as the lungs, liver, and spleen. The virus is highly contagious and can be spread through contact with an infected person or contaminated objects. The disease was eradicated through a global vaccination campaign led by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1980, and smallpox no longer exists naturally in the world

Smallpox is a virus that causes disease in the air, blood, and liver. It is spread through contact with respiratory secretions, such as saliva, mucus, or blood, from an infected person. It is also spread through contact with contaminated food or water. The virus is most commonly spread through contact with people who are kissing or touching each other, or through contact with objects that have been contaminated with virus.
