Shingles in children is contagious. In the case of shingles in children, the literature suggests that a child who has had chickenpox, who has not had chickenpox but has a history of exposure, or whose parents have shingles and then come into contact with the child may develop shingles. In children, the immune system is still not perfect, so the chickenpox virus is transmitted to the child who has had chickenpox or contact with a person with chickenpox, but there is no overt infection, but rather a latent infection, and eventually the virus invades the nerves and lies dormant, and then activates under certain conditions, and then herpes zoster occurs. Therefore shingles in children is especially noted for its history of exposure to the patient in question. Due to the low resistance of children, it is easy to spread the disease from parents to children. If a child has shingles, parents are advised to bring him or her to the hospital for standardized treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
