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.
Shingles is more common in older adults and in people who have weakened immune systems. Varicella-zoster is part of a group of viruses called herpes viruses, which includes the viruses that cause cold sores and genital herpes. Because of this, shingles is also known as herpes zoster. But the virus that causes chickenpox and shingles is not the same virus responsible for cold sores or genital herpes, a sexually transmitted infection. Are you contagious? A person with shingles can pass the varicella-zoster virus to anyone who isn't immune to chickenpox.
