Hand-foot-and-mouth disease a mild, contagious viral infection common in young
children is characterized by sores in the mouth and a rash on the hands and feet.
Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is most commonly caused by a coxsackievirus.

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a highly contagious infection. It's caused by viruses
from the Enterovirus family, most commonly the coxsackievirus. These viruses can
spread from person-to-person through direct contact with unwashed hands or surfaces
contaminated with feces.

Conjunctivitis when caused by an infection is most commonly caused by a viral

infection. Bacterial infections, allergies, other irritants and dryness are also common
causes. Both bacterial and viral infections are contagious and passed from person to
person, but can also spread through contaminated objects or water.
Bacterial conjunctivitis is usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus , Streptococcus
pneumoniae , Haemophilus sp, or, less commonly, Chlamydia trachomatis (see
Trachoma). Neisseria gonorrhoeae causes gonococcal conjunctivitis, which usually
results from sexual contact with a person who has a genital infection.

Scabies is an extremely itchy skin disorder that can be passed from one person to
another. It is caused by an infestation with a parasite - the scabies mite. The mite lives
on the skin and burrows into it. Scabies is spread to others through close skin-to-skin
contact. It is easily treated with an insecticide lotion applied to the skin. Two
applications of treatment are needed, one week apart

Scabies is an itchy, highly contagious skin disease caused by an infestation by the itch
mite Sarcoptes scabiei. Direct skin-to-skin contact is the mode of transmission.
 Head lice are tiny insects that feed on blood from the human scalp. An infestation of
head lice, called pediculosis capitis, most often affects children and usually results from
the direct transfer of lice from the hair of one person to the hair of another.

Head Lice Infestation. Head lice may be spread through close personal contact, shared
personal items (combs, brushes, hats, helmets, clothing, or earphones), or shared
bedding. Pubic lice are spread mainly through sexual contact and are very contagious.

A highly infectious viral disease also known medically as varicella -- in many countries,
this disease is always called "varicella" -- that causes a blister-like rash, itching,
fatigue and fever. The rash crops up first on the face and trunk and can spread over
the entire body resulting in 250 to 500 itchy blisters.

The varicella-zoster virus causes the chickenpox infection. Most cases occur through
contact with an infected person. The virus may be contagious several days before
blisters appear, and it remains contagious until all blisters have crusted over.
