There was analyzed the incidence of chickenpox from 2002 to 2012 in all administrative-territorial entities of the Primorsky Krai. The prevalence in adults in the Primorsky Krai in 2009-2013 corresponded to 36.70/0000. Among hospitalized patients there were prevailed cases with moderate grade, shortfebrile period (2,6 ± 1,4 days), the prevalence of subfebrile temperature, the manifestation of a typical exanthema, without complications. For varicella in the Primorsky Krai in the long-term dynamics there is typical inapparent cyclicism, the stable reservoir of infection in the off-season period, the high prevalence in infants under one year and adults. The main regulatory role in the spread of varicella is played by the implementation of the mechanism of transmission.
