My wife is affected from chickenpox virus, it has been 17 days, may I know if the virus is still contiguous? She has spots on the body as it is getting dried. And no fever, and no new blister coming up.

Hello lybrate-user. It can be infective till the eruption continues to discharge. After drying they are no infective. Take homoeopathic treatment to remove the bad effects of the virus.
