Abstract
Prevention remains the best form of "treatment" of neonatal HSV infection. Prompt work-up and initiation of antiviral therapy provide the best outcome once infection has occurred. It is critical that practitioners be aware of the urgency of initiation of therapy as well as the signs/symptoms of maternal and neonatal HSV infection.
