Tóm tắt

Neonatal Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections are rare but potentially fatal diseases. HSV infection is usually acquired when a newborn comes into contact with viable virus during intrapartum transit through infected birth canal. However, some cases are transmitted postnatally. Disseminated HSV infection with multiorgan involvement is the most feared form of the disease and is burdened with high morbidity and mortality. In this case report, we present a case of unexpected death of a neonate in whom the autopsy revealed disseminated Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1) infection.
