Thus, although treating an infant with neonatal a relatively rare occurrence, managing infants potentially exposed to HSV at time delivery occurs more frequently. The risk transmitting during determined part by mother’s previous immunity HSV. Women primary who shedding 10 30 times likely transmit their newborn than women recurrent delivery. With availability commercial serological tests that reliably can distinguish type-specific antibodies, it now possible determine type maternal and, thus, further refine management delivered have active lesions. algorithm presented herein uses both and virological studies transmission mother herpetic lesions tailors accordingly. does not address approach asymptomatic neonates history no
