“…Additionally, previous studies have emphasized the signi cance of conducting diagnostic tests, such as polymerase chain reaction and viral culture, to con rm the presence of herpes simplex virus type 2 infection in the amniotic uid and fetal tissues [12]. These diagnostic tests are essential in con rming the vertical transmission of the virus and guiding appropriate management strategies, including antiviral prophylaxis during pregnancy.…”

Background: Herpes Simplex Virus type 2 (HSV-2), is mainly linked to genital herpes infections. Also, Maternal HSV-2 infections during pregnancy pose increased risks, particularly when diagnosed in the third trimester, leading to unfavorable outcomes for the fetus and rarly detected in early second trimester of pregnancy. Case Presenation: We present a case of HSV-2 infection in an 18-week fetus in previously healthy mother, the patient's ultrasound findings, diagnostic evaluations, and subsequent management and oucome. Conclusion: This case underscores the challenges associated with mid-trimester intrauterine infections and prompts diagnosis based on ultrasound and echocardiography findings.

Congenital Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection is considered a common pregnancy pathology that is not always easy to diagnose. This study aimed to present the spectrum of placental histopathological lesions in pregnancies complicated by HSV infection. MEDLINE and Google Scholar databases were searched using the keywords "HSV" and "placental histopathology" up to June 20, 2022. Study inclusion required presenting placental histopathological anomalies in pregnant women diagnosed with HSV infection antenatally, during labor, or postnatally. Herein, we briefly present placental pathogenesis conditions, which have been correlated with congenital HSV infection, providing clinicians with a short review describing herpetic placental pathology.
