Why don't you think that a mild case doesn't create immunity?

If the body is able to defeat the virus, the kid is immune.

Talk to your doctor.

You can read about this atwww.cdc.gov.

The question is, what is this "X" number of lesions? My wife is a
pediatric nurse practitioner and heard this some time back, and can't
remember what it was or where it was from. Does anybody know,
preferably with a cite?

Please reply to the newsgroup.

Thanks,
