Answer by bubbanuck25
Measles is caused by a different virus. Chicken pox is caused by the varicella zoster virus, while measles is caused by a paramyxovirus.
Measles looks more like a reddish rash, while chicken pox looks like you've got pustules (that turn into scabs) all over the place.
I had chicken pox last year when I was 33. I got it from an unvaccinated child. Get your children vaccinated against this stuff, it's evil when you get it as an adult!

Chicken pox virus, resmbles the herpes zoster virus, incubatin 14-21 days, followed by temperature and skin eruptions and is highly contagious.
Measles (rubeola) is also highly communicable virus with skin eruptions and mouth (Koplick spots-white patches), incubation is 10-14 days. Vaccine helps!
Get the facts on the chickenpox vaccine, treatment, causes (varicella zoster virus, VZV), symptoms and signs (itchy, red rash).
