Abstract

Herpes simplex virus is one the most common causes of sexually transmitted diseases. This infection is common in
reproductive age women and can cause severe sequealae for fetus and neonates because this virus can be transmitted
to the fetus during pregnancy and the newborn. Infection of Herpes simplex can occurs as first or primary infection
and recurrent infection. Most of the case is asymptomatic. Rarely during intrauterine, the risk of transmission of
maternal-fetal can be increased during the last trimester of pregnancy and delivery. Based on type of infection,
primary or recurrent, performing a treatment with antiviral drugs or caesarean section delivery can decrease the risk
of neonatal infection
