    • Chickenpox is a primary infection generally experienced in childhood, while shingles is a reactivation of the Varicella Zoster virus.
    • Chickenpox is highly contagious, occurring in children and generally mild and self-managed.
    • Mumps is characterized by painful swelling on the sides of the face.
