“…Three general patterns of infection due to herpes simplex virus in the neonate have been described: [1][2][3][4] (1) disseminated infection with or without CNS involvement; (This usually involves the liver, adrenal glands, and the lungs. This pattern of infection typically mimics neonatal bacterial sepsis.)…”

“…Although the virus is not considered to cross the placenta with any regularity, congenital defects of the fetus have been described in a small number of cases (Komorous, Wheeler, & Briggman, 1977;Honig, Holzwanger, & Lexden, 1979).

The potential effects of a herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection on a fetus or neonate are devastating. HSV infections in the newborn are associated with a case fatality rate of 60% and at least half of the survivors have significant neurologic or ocular sequelae or both. To date, the most effective treatment is prevention. Physicians and nurses are the key health care professionals to provide screening, information, counseling, support, and care for women in their reproductive years. It is imperative, therefore, that these health care providers have a thorough knowledge of the subject.The authors discuss the epidemiology, risks, diagnosis, management, educational needs, and psychological needs of pregnant women. Health care providers, through the use of this information, can decrease the devastating effects of the disease for both the mother and her unborn child.
