Shingles

So I know that shingles can be spread to babies and immunocompromised people, but I'm wondering if that would include lymes disease? Is a person with lymes considered immunocompromised?
Shingles can be spread to anyone.

Lyme disease is a blood based bacteria. Spread after bite from a vector insect (tick) not human to human. Shingles is a virus spread via contact with fluid filled blisters that contain the virus. Herpes zoster can be spread to anyone infant, immune compromised or healthy child/adult

Shingles does not include Lyme disease. Perhaps you need to review the CDC website for info regarding both diseases and their transmission

I think the OP is asking if having Lyme disease makes a person immuno-compromised. Not in the traditional sense, but any time a person is battling a longer illness, their immune function is going to be somewhat depressed.

What's the rationale behind your question, OP?

Yes, thank you for clarifying my question. I am very aware of what Lymes and Shingles exemplify, just wanted extra input on thoughts of a lymes diseased person being around another person who has shingles.

Actually, shingles can only spread to newborns, immunocompromised and unvaccinated people against varicella. Just fyi.

Yes, correct. Thanks for all your responses. Here is a quoted portion from the CDC that confirms your statement.Shingles cannot be passed from one person to another. However, the virus that causes shingles, the varicella zoster virus, can be spread from a person with active shingles to another person who has never had chickenpox. In such cases, the person exposed to the virus might develop chickenpox, but they would not develop shingles.
