Shingles may be transmitted to infants.
Shingles is a disease caused by infection with the varicella zoster virus, which is transmitted through the respiratory tract and may result in the development of the disease if you come into contact with a patient’s nasopharyngeal secretions or if you come into contact with a patient’s blister fluid. It is therefore also possible to transmit the disease to an infant if there is frequent contact with the infant after the appearance of shingles.
If shingles virus infection has already occurred, it is best not to frequently touch the baby, the baby’s body resistance is relatively poor, the body is not yet fully developed, may be more prone to this disease, the baby’s physical recovery will have a certain impact.
After the emergence of herpes zoster virus infection need to actively seek medical treatment, but also need to do a good job of personal protection.
