Genital Herpesvirus Infection in Pregnancy

From the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology. University of Rochester School of Medicine, Rochester, New York and University of Florida College of Medicine, Gainesville, Florida

Abstract

Neonatal herpesvirus infection is a serious, often fatal infection, the incidence of which can be reduced by active management of pregnant women having the infection. Data from two institutions on 29 pregnant patients plus a review of 14 additional patients, all of whom had virologically proven infections, demonstrate that elective cesarean section prior to or less than 4 hours after ruptured membranes will significantly reduce the danger of neonatal herpesvirus infection.
