New management of the pregnant patient to reduce the risk of transmitting herpes to the newborn.

Abstract:

:Growing understanding of the mechanisms and epidemiology of neonatal herpes simplex virus acquisition allows for the development of a new management of the pregnant patient, one that will reduce the risk of transmitting herpes to the newborn. Maternal herpes simplex virus infection, especially acquired during pregnancy, can result in transmission to the newborn. Infection of the CNS of the newborn results in death or significant neurodevelopmental impairment in most of these infected babies. Herpes simplex virus infection acquired prior to or during pregnancy has a physical and psychologic impact on the health of the mother. Newer, more sensitive and specific serology testing for herpes simplex virus in combination with antiviral pharmacotherapy is now recognized as an important option for reducing the risk of herpes simplex virus transmission from mother to newborn. This review discusses new information concerning the prevention, diagnosis and treatment options for the management of herpes simplex virus infection during pregnancy with a focus on the evolving role of prevention.
