hi, welcome to healthcare magic
pregnant and neonatal kids are most susceptible for all kind of infections as there immunity levels are very low, they should be very careful even if any common flu is suffered from anyone in the home,
herpes gladiatorum is highly contagious by skin to skin contact or respiratory droplets, so maintain a better hygiene in the place where she stays.
