«Breaking News» Distraught parents issue stark warning after their 14-day-old baby girl died from cold sore virus

Kelly Ineson and Thomas Cummins have warned other families about the dangers of the cold sore virus after their daughter Kiara died when she was just 14 days old

A heartbroken couple have warned others about the dangers of kissing newborn babies after their daughter died at only 14 days old. 

Kelly Ineson, 30, and fiancé Thomas Cummins, 26, were told their little girl Kiara most likely caught the herpes simplex virus from a visitor when she became sick just ten days after she was born.

Little Kiara was placed in an induced coma but doctors told her devastated parents that if she did pull through she'd probably be badly brain damaged. 

The mother, who has three other children, has now shared her story in a hope to warn other parents about the virus and avoid another baby getting sick.

She told the Daily Star: 'We were always so careful, not letting anyone near her if they seemed poorly or hadn't washed their hands.

'I never in my worst nightmares imagined a kiss could kill my baby, and I don't want any other parents to go through this.'

When Kiara became sick Kelly and Thomas were told their daughter had most likely contracted the virus through someone kissing her. 

Doctors said Kiara most likely caught the herpes simplex virus from a well-wishing visitor 

Herpes in babies is caused by the herpes simplex virus which is highly contagious and can cause and spread via cold sores in adults.

The virus can be very serious for a young baby, whose immune system hasn't fully developed to fight off the virus. 

Sometimes neonatal herpes will only affect the baby's eyes, mouth or skin. In these cases, most babies will make a complete recovery with treatment.

Kiara became sick when she was 10 days old and died in hospital only four days later

But the condition is much more serious if it's spread to the organs. 

NHS England says nearly a third of infants with this type of neonatal herpes will die, even after they have been treated.

Marian Nicholson, director of the Herpes Viruses Association, told the Daily Star: 'Please don't kiss other people's babies. 

'You might be one of the people who has cold sores that are so mild you haven't noticed them, yet your mild infection could be transferred to a new baby.'

In October Abigail Friend, 19, from Oakland, Maryland, revealed her heartbreak after her daughter Aliza Rose died at just eight days old after developing neonatal herpes.

Ms Friend said Aliza was healthy for the first 36 hours of her life before she developed a fever, became lethargic and lost interest in food.

She then quickly deteriorated as the disease 'ate her lungs and brain', leaving her struggling to breathe and suffering seizures.

The young mother urged people in a Facebook post to: 'WASH YOUR HANDS. DO NOT KISS BABIES.' 

WHAT IS NEONATAL HERPES?

Neonatal herpes occurs when a newborn baby catches the virus.

The herpes simplex virus is highly contagious and spreads via cold sores or genital ulcers in adults. 

Herpes can be very serious in newborns due to their immune systems not being strong enough to fight off the infection.

It affects just 1.65 babies per 100,000 born in the UK compared to 33 per 100,000 in the US.  

If the virus spreads to a baby's organs, nearly a third die even if they have been treated.

A baby can be at risk if its mother catches genital herpes for the first time during the first six weeks of her pregnancy.

Such women can pass the infection to their babies if they have a vaginal delivery.

After birth, a baby is at risk of a person has a cold sore and then kisses it or if its mother breastfeeds and has herpes sores on her breasts. This can occur if she touches her cold sore and then her breasts. 

Cold sores are at their most contagious when they burst but remain contagious until they have completely healed.

A baby may be infected if it:

• Is lethargic or irritable


• Refuses food


• Has a fever


• Has rashes or sores on its skin, eyes or inner mouth

If a baby becomes lifeless, will not wake, has breathing difficulties, or has a blue tongue or skin, call 999 immediately.

Treatment usually involves antiviral drugs given intravenously. 

To reduce the risk of a baby being infected, people should not kiss infants if they have a cold sore and should wash their hands before touching them.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
