all airborne....just remember mtv-airborne. measles, tb, varicella (chickenpox, shingles)

nice..........good acronym

infectionnurse · Oct 1, 2009

Yes, the virus is no longer contagious once the blisters dry up and crust over. Also, this disease is not listed on the communicable disease list from the Department of Community Health, although varicella zoster is. Shingles is not a communicable disease. The patient with draining blisters does not need to be isolated if only in one dermatome, if 2 or more than should be in contact isolation. Pregnant women and those who have not been exposed with varicella (chicken pox) should not give care to this patient they are at risk for acquiring the virus, which will give them varicella (hence airborne) should wear a mask if working the unit. There is no such thing as respiratory isolation the question should not be labeled as such (it is airborne).
