Newborn Baby Girl Dies Just Days After Contracting Herpes From Someone Who Kissed Her

It should be the happiest of times for Shane and Nicole Sifrit. Just 18 days ago they welcomed their baby girl Mariana –  their first child together. 

But the couple from Iowa have tragically announced their infant daughter has died. Her death is being linked to a herpes infection likely contracted through a kiss.

On July 7, the new parents happily exchanged wedding vows in front of friends and family. But just two hours later their six-day-old daughter was rushed to the hospital.
