Pre-eclampsia hits 3-5 percent of all pregnant women. Its symptoms are raised blood pressure and protein in the urine during the second half of the pregnancy. In rare but very serious cases the condition can be worsened through seizures. Pre-eclampsia can only be treated by treating the symptoms.
You cannot give shingles to someone else, and you cannot catch shingles from someone with shingles. However, if you have an attack of shingles, you can give someone chickenpox if that person makes direct contact with the sores and has never been exposed to chickenpox. Keeping the sores covered under clothing or by plasters will help prevent the spreading of the virus - and chickenpox - to others.
The risk of spreading shingles is low if the rash is covered. People with shingles should keep the rash covered, not touch or scratch the rash, and wash their hands often to prevent the spread of shingles. Once the rash has developed crusts, the person is no longer contagious.
