A newborn baby girl may have died when her mother kissed her, an inquest in Lancashire has heard.
Jennifer Schofield was 11 days old when her vital organs failed after contracting a strain of herpes in November 2006.
The baby's mother, Ruth, 35, of Binyon Court, in Lancaster, transmitted the virus by kissing her or breastfeeding.
Coroner Dr James Adeley recorded a narrative verdict, and said nobody was blamed for failing to spot the virus.
The inquest heard the infection herpes simplex virus (HSV) was the type passed on through a cold sore. - BBC
