Chickenpox is a severe disease that primarily affects adults. A) True B) False

Understand the Problem

The question is asking whether the statement about Chickenpox primarily affecting adults is true or false. We need to evaluate the accuracy of the statement based on knowledge about the disease.

More Information

Chickenpox is typically known as a mild childhood disease, but it can be more serious in adults and young infants. While not primarily a severe disease in adults, complications are more frequent in this age group compared to children.

Tips

A common mistake is assuming chickenpox is only severe in children, when in fact, it can also cause serious complications in adults, especially those who are unvaccinated.
