 ==Overview==
-The main purpose to screen for chickenpox is to be able to treat it early on before a clinical [[diagnosis]] can be made. The people that would need to be screened are the [[patients]] that do not currently have symptoms but are at high risk for developing [[chickenpox]].

-===Tests===
-[[Blood]] tests are used to confirm [[immunity]] to the chickenpox virus. This can be done in cases in which the patient did not know he/she had been [[infected]] in the past. A positive test would show that [[antibodies]] to the chickenpox virus have developed in the blood. Another reason to screen would be if a patient had forgotten he/she had been previously immunized.
