only provider-reports was 7.4 cases/100,000 live births; ELRonly was 12.8; combined provider and ELR reports was 17.3; and Chapman's estimator was 32.7.

Expanding the number of healthcare facilities and laboratories electronically reporting nHSV infections and encouraging providers to report nHSV cases could help address the gap in reporting.
