Identification of women at unsuspected risk of primary infection with herpes simplex virus type 2 during pregnancy.
N Engl J Med. 1992; (14): 916-20
Primary infections with herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) acquired by women during pregnancy account for about half of the morbidity and mortality from HSV-2 among neonates. The other half results from reactivation of old infections. Better methods are needed to identify which women are at risk for primary HSV-2 infection.
