<unk>  infection is caused by HSV-1 and HSV-2. The transmission of infection is by vertical transmission in utero or by direct contact from the genital tract. The disease presentation varies with majority of the cases limiting to only skin, eye and mouth (SEM), but it can also involve the CNS and other organ systems. Documentation of maternal history of genital<unk>  and classification of maternal infection type based on serology has a significant role in the management of neonatal<unk> . The risk of transmission is high in patients with primary disease and low in patients with recurrent disease. A high suspicion of neonatal<unk>  infection should be present in all infants born to mothers with genital lesions in the third trimester. Surface cultures and CSF analysis should be done to establish the infection and empiric IV acyclovir must be initiated for better outcomes. The duration of the treatment is based on the extent of involvement of the disease, it should be followed by a 6 month duration of suppressive acyclovir therapy.
