Xavier García Albiol, at home and with chicken pox at 54 years old

The former mayor of Badalona, ​​Xavier Garcia Albiol, has gone to the hospital and is now at home where he will remain for a few days suffering from chicken pox. The politician has made public his state of health through Twitter with an emoticon where he expresses his surprise at finding out that he was infected at 54 years of age with a disease that mainly affects children.

Chickenpox is an infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus. It causes an itchy skin rash with small fluid-filled blisters. Chickenpox is very contagious to people who have not had the disease before or have not been vaccinated. According to hospital sources, the older the infection, the less frequent it is, but greater complications can arise.

In adults and people with weakened immune systems, it can cause dehydration, pneumonia, bleeding problems, infection, or even brain swelling. After going through Can Ruti, García Albiol is at home recovering.
