HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, what kind of disease it is there is not mentioned here if this is the viral infection then it may likely to infect the others too and if it is not like that then no need to worry, even with viral infection it may not be the case always so no need to worry about this, better to get done the clinical examination hope this information helps
