Infections associated with vesicles
Vesicle is a small lesion of skin filled with serous fluid, blood or pus. It is formed due to the proliferation of the virus within the epidermis.
Chickenpox and smallpox are two viral infections characterized by skin blistering, which later turn into pustules (pus-filled blisters).
Vesicles of chickenpox, have a uniform distribution, being able to shape them randomly on the face, trunk and limbs.
In contrast to chickenpox, herpes zoster occurs in a single dermatome, the path of a peripheral nerve lugul. Intercostal neuralgia herpetic vesicles onset. If chickenpox usually occurs in children, herpes zoster occur at any age and especially in immunosuppressed persons (HIV infection, cancer). Herpes simplex virus circulates in two forms: HSV-1 causes blisters located peribucal and HSV-2 cause of genital herpes lesions.
And last but not least, Coxsackie virus, which affects children, causes the precise location of vezivule: mouth, hands and feet.
