MedlinePlus: Smallpox is a disease caused by the variola major virus. some experts say that over the centuries it has killed more people than all other infectious diseases combined. worldwide immunization stopped the spread of smallpox three decades ago. the last case was reported in 1977. two research labs still house small amounts of the virus. experts fear bioterrorists could use the virus to spread disease.
smallpox spreads very easily from person to person. symptoms are flu-like and include high fever, fatigue and headache and backache, followed by a rash with flat red sores.
the u.s. stopped routine smallpox vaccinations in 1972. military and other high-risk groups continue to get the vaccine. the u.s. has increased its supply of the vaccine in recent years. the vaccine makes some people sick, so doctors save it for those at highest risk of disease.

MalaCards: Smallpox, also known as ordinary smallpox, is related to cowpox and viral infectious disease. An important gene associated with Smallpox is IL18BP (interleukin 18 binding protein), and among its related pathways are Th1 Differentiation and Hematopoietic cell lineage. The compounds pge2 and indoleamine have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include skin and skin. Disease Ontology: A viral infectious disease that results in infection located in skin, has material basis in variola virus, which is transmitted by droplets from oral, nasal or pharyngeal mucosa, transmitted by contact with the body fluids, or transmitted by fomites. the infection results in formation of lesions, first on the face, hands and forearms and later on the trunk.6 Wikipedia: Smallpox was an infectious disease unique to humans, caused by either of two virus variants, Variola...44 more... |
