Answer 1

One history of medicine book credits Giovanni Filippo (1510–1580) of Palermo with the first description of varicella (chickenpox). Subsequently in the 1600s, an English physician named Richard Morton described what he thought a mild form of smallpox as "chicken pox." Later, in 1767, a physician named William Heberden, also from England, was the first physician to clearly demonstrate that chickenpox was different from smallpox. However, it is believed the name chickenpox was commonly used in earlier centuries before doctors identified the disease.

Answer 2

It is very difficult to say exactly when, where, and who discovered chicken pox. Chicken pox was felt to be very similar to another disease called smallpox, which we no longer see in human beings. Doctors have known for centuries that these and other epidemic diseases were occurring, but they had a hard time differentiating between some of the diseases. One history of medicine book claims that Giovanni Filippo (1510 - 80) of Palermo gave the first description of varicella (chicken pox). Subsequently in the 1600s, an English physician named Richard Morton described what he thought was a mild form of smallpox as "chicken pox." Later, in 1767, a physician named William Heberden, also from England, was the first physician to clearly demonstrate that chicken pox was different from smallpox. However, it is believed that the name chicken pox was commonly used in earlier centuries before doctors knew what they were seeing.
There is some debate over the origin of the name chicken pox. In 1730, Fuller speculated that it "might be so called from the smallness of the specks, which looked as though a child had been picked with the bills of chickens." However, most now believe that the disease got its name because of the resemblance of the chicken pox blisters to chickpeas, a small tan-colored vegetable related to beans and peas. You may also be interested to know that the word "pox" was used in England at around that time to mean "curse." Some probably thought that chicken pox (and smallpox) was a curse on those who got it.
