Barnsley mum: Neonatal herpes nearly took my baby
Ashleigh White's son Noah became seriously ill with neonatal herpes after being infected with HSV-1, the highly contagious"herpes simplex virus" that causes cold sores in adults. It is sometimes known as the"kiss of death" because of the way it is passed on.
"His eye started to get a bit swollen and crusty, and a few days later blisters appeared, so we took him to the doctors and we were referred straight to hospital," Ashleigh told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast. "He did become very ill," she said."I did manage to catch it in time before it did go systemic and start shutting down all his vital organs. It was around his eye and there were fears of him going blind."Neonatal herpes is a rare condition, and according to the World Health Organisation, it occurs in an estimated 10 out of every 100,000 births globally, but can lead to lasting neurologic disability or death. The virus is common among adults.
