Depends: If child is healthy then little risk. If child has health issues, then there could be a concern. Hepatitis A as well as certain bacterial infections top the list of concerns. If child has been immunized against Hepatitis A and is healthy, not much risk. If, when washing underwear, able to soak them in solution with 1 part bleach and 9 parts water, that would kill just about everything of risk.
