    Area of Science:

    • Virology
    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections pose significant risks to newborns.
    • Congenital HSV infection, acquired in utero, is a rare but severe manifestation.
    • Understanding transmission routes and clinical implications is crucial for management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a case of congenital herpes simplex virus type II infection acquired in utero.
    • To discuss the broader implications and challenges of congenital HSV infections.

    Main Methods:

    • Case presentation of a neonate with confirmed congenital HSV-II infection.
    • Review of existing literature on in utero HSV transmission and neonatal herpes.

    Main Results:

    • The reported case illustrates successful diagnosis of congenital HSV-II infection acquired before birth.
    • Discussion emphasizes the severity and potential long-term sequelae of such infections.

    Conclusions:

    • Congenital HSV infections require prompt recognition and management.
    • Further research into preventative strategies and treatment protocols for in utero HSV acquisition is warranted.
