Abstract
Genital Herpes is one of the most common sexually transmitted genital infection that can
be transmitted to the newborn. Neonatal Herpes simplex virus infections can be devastating,
so the prevention of mother to newborn transmission is a primary goal. The timeliness
of antiviral therapy often affects the outcome. Therefore, Herpes simplex should always
be considered in the first 6 weeks of life in the evaluation of a septic newborn with
sterile bacterial cultures or in the evaluation of the neonate with central nervous system
involvement without any apparent reason.
