The Davises were excited about their newborn twin boys and couldn't wait to take them to see Mr. Davis's father. Grandfather Davis was excited to see his first grandsons as well and thought their visit might help take his mind off the pain of his shingles, which had suddenly appeared only days before. Name the specific virus responsible for Grandfather Davis's shingles? What likely triggered/ reactivated the virus to cause his case of shingles? Are the new parents at risk of catching shingles from Grandfather Davis? Are the newborns at risk of catching shingles from their grandfather; if not, then what disease are they at risk for? Explain your reasoning. If Mrs. Davis asked your advice about visiting her father-in-law with the twins, what would you recommend?
