Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus and causes an itchy rash and fluid-filled blisters that scab over. Measles is caused by a respiratory virus and is highly contagious through coughing and sneezing. It causes fever, runny nose, eyes, and a red body rash. While chickenpox is usually mild, measles can lead to complications like brain swelling and even death in rare cases.
