As happened on Kaiden McCormick, a tiny baby who died after being kissed by her own father. Kaiden was born prematurely and died from multiple organ failure after being infected with the virus of cold sores (oral herpes or herpes on the lips), which are transmitted by kissing her father's passing.
Kaiden spent 6 weeks with a life-support machine, but doctors could not save her life and this poor baby died at the age of two months.
His parents, Carl MacLaren (34 years) and Marrie-Claire McCormick (28 years), was shocked when his son attacked by the herpes simplex virus, a disease carried by most people though usually not active or 'sleep'.
"I asked how could the baby have herpes. When the doctor said the virus is transmitted from cold sores, I looked at Carl and he instinctively touched his lips. At that moment I saw him split into two," said Marrie-Claire McCormick, who is from Bootle , Merseyside, England, as reported by Dailymail, Friday (08/03/2013).
Heart Carl was devastated knowing he was the cause of his son's death. As a father, he blamed himself.
"But I never blamed Carl. All she did with love and affection. He has been a perfect father. I hated to see punish themselves," said Marrie.
Kaiden was born five weeks prematurely on March 28 last year. Birth is a great happiness for the couple Carl and Marrie. They spoil Kaiden and every night after a bath, they spend time to kiss and hug before bed.
But before the age of 2 weeks, Kaiden makes parents panic when his body turned blue and refuse to drink milk. Body temperature rose, blue and had stopped breathing.
Paramedics arrived within minutes and rushed him to Alder Hay Hospital in Liverpool, where Kaiden was immediately taken to the resuscitation. Parents kept vigil at her bedside, but 48 hours later the doctor warned to survive Kaiden need ventilator.
After six weeks in the hospital, Kaiden still could not breathe for himself. And when he began to suffer seizures, Marrie and Carl asked to consider turning off all the life support machine.
"We were told there was no hope and as a mother you want to protect your baby from suffering, so we made the hardest decision of our lives. We give permission to turn off the engine so he could sleep (for ever). He handed it to me and I snuggle and hug when he slipped 'away'. I kissed her and told her how much I loved her. I hold him in her arms when she fell asleep for the last time, "recalls Marrie.
Cold sore virus is lethal in the first six weeks of life baby. Cold sores caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV), which is carried by most people, but usually inactive and harmless. The virus can be transmitted through physical contact, such as kissing or breastfeeding.
While most adults carry the virus with no health risk, it can be fatal to infants because of low immunity. The first six weeks of life is the most risky for the baby.
Although difficult to detect, early signs of infection including infants did not want to eat, drowsiness, fever,drooping and unusual crying.
