common rashes that children have. It is important for staff to conduct a daily health check on all children upon entering the facility, which includes checking for rashes. Young children do not have developed immune systems they are more likely to develop illnesses. These children are more likely to be in close contact with each other and use their hands to wipe their faces thus spreading infection. Health checks help reduce the transmission of infectious diseases in children by identifying and isolating
contact with someone with the virus). Chicken pox is mainly found to infect children because they stay in big groups and have a lot of contact with each other. It is a problem because it causes many issues and symptoms to certain individuals, the disease can be serious and deadly.

the general symptoms usually subside within a few days of jaundice, but in severe cases both general and abdominal symptoms may become further aggravated at this phase. Jaundice is often accompanied by itching and sometimes by urticarial or papular rashes.

Prevention methods include frequent hand washing before eating and
themselves and their child from dangerous infections, environmental exposures and even toxic exposure. For centuries, women would trail against the hardships of their environment. Because of this, many women and children sacrificed themselves to the toxicity of the world around them without identifying the causing agent.

Nicholas Volker is young boy that has been battling an unknown, life threatening disease for most of his life that can potentially be fatal. There are many holes that open up in between his skin and his intestine causing a leakage of feces into a wounded area in his abdomen. Nicholas is also an underweight child, weighing only less than twenty pounds, and his colon is removed as well. He had gone through severe pain on a daily basis and was also not able to eat due to his unidentified illness

to Rezaei, et al., (2008), the rate of incidence of SCID in newborn babies may be even higher than this due to the number of cases of children who die before doctors can make a positive diagnosis of the disease (Allenspach, et al., 2003). Without a bone marrow transplantation or gene therapy intervention, X-SCID is fatal within the first two years of life. Children who are born by parents without a comprehensive family medical history are usually hospitalized between the ages of six months and three
