Is it possible to have Chicken Pox twice in a life time?
Answer by S2000Turbo.com
No unless you know you have a immune disorder that doesn't produce antibodies.

no. once ur immune system has the memory cells than u cannot have chicken pox again unless it mutates. there are other things that happen though.
Answer by Fire
Yes but it is quite RARE. If you think you may have them then I suggest giving your health care provider a phone call immediately. Reason being if it is or isn't, something is going on and needs attention.

Chicken pox is the common name for Varicella simplex, classically one of the childhood infectious diseases caught and survived by most children.
Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), also known as human herpes virus 3 (HHV-3), one of the eight herpes viruses known to affect humans. It starts with conjunctival and catarrhal symptoms, moderate fever and then characteristic spots appearing in two or three waves, mainly on the body and head rather than the hands and becoming itchy raw pox (pocks), small open sores which heal mostly without scarring.
Second infections with Chicken Pox occur in immunocompetent individuals, but are uncommon. Such second infections are rarely severe. A soundly-based conjecture being carefully assessed in countries with low prevalence of Chickenpox due to immunisation, low birth rates, and increased separation is that immunity has been reinforced by sub-clinical challenges and this is now less common. This is more dangerous with shingles. There have been reported cases of repeat infections.

Although very rare, it is possible to get them twice. But the second time instead of chicken pox, it usually comes as shingles. It is the same virus that causes them both.
Get the facts on the chickenpox vaccine, treatment, causes (varicella zoster virus, VZV), symptoms and signs (itchy, red rash).
