Abstract:
Neonatal herpes simplex virus infection is rare but important to recognize because of the major risk of sequelae or death. The diagnosis is mainly based on specific clinical and biological analyses. Aciclovir is the treatment of choice, duration of administration depending on the severity of the disease. A six-month treatment with suppressive-dose oral aciclovir is recommended to improve the child's prognosis. From a clinical case, we reviewed the literature to improve the management.
