Baby Eloise was born on November 1, via caesarean at Mackay Hospital in far north Queensland, Australia. The unfortunate is she died last week in the arms of her parents, after coming in contact with someone with a cold sore. Parents, Sarah Pugh, 28, and Douglas Lampton, 35, were so devastated by the loss of their beloved baby.

Baby Eloise died 24 days after she was born. She was unknowingly infected with herpes simplex virus, after a few days in the hospital. Hospital doctors initially thought it was a feeding issue, but her health deteriorated so quickly that she lost a kilo in a week after her birth. She was quickly rushed to the Brisbane Mater Hospital and was placed on a machine to keep her alive. Doctors tried frantically to find out what was wrong with her.

After two days on the machine, doctors informed Eloise’s parents, that it was the herpes virus causing their daughter’s illness. Of course the parents were shocked and sad. The mother did not test positive to the disease, which was passed on to to the baby through cold sore.

Herpes virus is a virus the can be contracted only when you are in contact – kissed or touched a carrier.

P.S. Please like, tweet and share this post so people can learn from the unfortunate experience of this Australian couple. Doctors have advised that you should not allow you babies to be kissed on the lips by adults, because of their underdeveloped immune system.
