Disseminated genital herpes and mode of delivery
Abstract: Genital herpes in pregnancy is associated with increased perinatal morbidity and mortality. Maternal primary infection with herpes simplex virus (HSV) prior to labor usually does not affect the fetus (1/200,000 deliveries) The greatest risk associated with intrapartum HSV exposure is neonatal herpes infection. Neonatal risk occurs in the case of a primary or reccurent HSV infection. The risk of neonatal HSV infection in case of non-genital herpes is low. The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends elective cesarean delivery for women with demonstrable genital herpes or prodromal symptoms in labor.
