Abstract in brief

  • Advances in diagnosing and managing neonatal herpes simplex virus (HSV) have significantly reduced mortality rates over the past 30 years, especially for disseminated and CNS disease.
  • While survival rates have improved, the proportion of patients with neurological problems after CNS HSV remains unchanged, but more infants are developing normally due to better survival.
  • Future improvements may depend on increased awareness and understanding of HSV in pregnant women and newborns, as well as early diagnosis and treatment strategies.
