Causes?

Neonatal HSV
1 in 2,500-5,000 deliveries / 500-1500 per yr.
Birth to 7 weeks of life
HSV2 = 70-75%, HSV1 = 25-30%
3 Main Types
Skin, Eye, Mouth (SEM)
CNS
Disseminated Disease (DISSEM)

At Risk: Premature, ROM >6hr, Fetal scalp


monitoring
Can be acquired congenitally, during the
birth process, and in the post-partum period

Routes of Transmission
85% via infected
maternal genital
tract
Ascending

10% postpartum
5% (or less)

HSV - CNS Disease


Encephalitis without

Skin lesions may
appear late, if at all
35% of all cases,
only 2-5% untreated
survive normally

HSV1
Moms with HSV
Mask
Breastfeeding
O.K. if without
lesions

Morbidity and Mortality

Take Home Message


Infection is most common when a
mother develops a genital infection
late in pregnancy ( her primary
HSV1 or HSV2 infection) then
delivers before the development of
protective maternal antibodies

Herpes Simplex
Approximately 5% of the general
population has been diagnosed
with genital herpes but
approximately 20-30% of women
may be infected with HSV-2
Viral shedding occurs without
identifiable lesions on 1-3% of days

Herpes during Pregnancy


As many as 2% of pregnant women are
infected with HSV2 during pregnancy
25% of women with a history of genital
herpes have an outbreak at some time
during their pregnancy, 11-14% at time
of delivery
36% at delivery for those with first infection!
Virus is recovered from 1% of asymptomatic
women at delivery

What is the risk?


Vaginal delivery when mom has presence
of first symptomatic lesions 50%
Vaginal delivery when mom is
asymptomatic, but is newly infected 33%
Vaginal delivery when mom has recurrent
lesions 4%
Vaginal delivery when mom has a history
of herpes lesions in past, none presently
0.04%

OB Management
70s-80s weekly HSV cultures
1988 patient examined at delivery,
Cesarean delivery if: (no data)
Identifiable genital lesions
Patient describes prodromal symptoms

Vaginal delivery for those with hx only


Primary infection diagnosed - treat
Estimated $2-4 million to prevent each case
20-30% of infants who are diagnosed with
neonatal herpes are delivered by Cesarean
delivery

Diagnostics
HSV Cx positive
in 1-2 days
(cytopathic effect)
DFA
sensitivity/specific
ity in the 75%85% range

PCR Testing
Detects minute
amounts of DNA,
RNA
DISSEM 93%
CNS 76%
SEM 24%

False negative may


occur if CSF is
obtained too early
Order through IVF!

Diagnostics (cont)
Surface cultures
Mouth (40-50%)
Eyes (25%)
Rectum
Skin

Cultures
Stool
Urine
CSF >100 WBC/Inc. Pro

Tzanck neither
sensitive nor specific

Treatment - Acyclovir
SEM infections
60mg/kg/day divided q8h for 14 days
May be lengthened to 21 days in the near
future
Oral Acyclovir needed later in life?

DISSEM and CNS HSV infections


60mg/kg/day divided q8h for 21 days
Re-tap if CNS disease exists prior to d/c

Watch for neutropenia 2x week ANCs

Take Home Messages


Most neonates with
HSV infection are
born to mothers with
asymptomatic
genital shedding at
delivery, with no
history of genital
herpetic lesions
No one test is 100%
sensitive / specific
Keep HSV in mind
