Herpesvirus Infection in the Newborn Its Treatment by Exchange Transfusion and Adenosine Arabinoside

MARVIN S. AMSTEY, MD, FACOG, EDWARD B. LEWIN, MD and MONICA R. MEYER, MD

From the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Pediatrics, Highland Hospital and Strong Memorial Hospital. Rochester, New York.

A case is reported of herpesvirus infection in the newborn following maternal genital herpesvirus infection. The rationale for treating a newborn infant with signs of disseminated herpesvirus infection by exchange transfusion in addition to adenosine arabinoside is discussed. Because of the lack of data concerning therapy for a disease with a 50 to 100% mortality rate, it is important to present material such as this in order to provide information about possible new therapeutic modalities.
