A2 - Appachi, Elumalai PY - 2015 T2 - The Color Atlas of Pediatrics AB - A 7-day-old infant is seen in the emergency department because of a rash that was noted on the infant’s trunk and back. The rash consisted of crops of vesicular lesions on an erythematous base (Figure 187-1). The infant was born at term gestation to an 18-year-old mother who had poor prenatal care. The mother denied a history of herpes simplex infection or other sexually transmitted infections. A direct fluorescent antibody test for herpes simplex virus (HSV) was positive and an HSV culture from the lesion was positive. A lumbar puncture was normal, and blood and CSF tests for HSV DNA were negative. The infant was admitted and treated with intravenous acyclovir for 14 days and recovered without sequelae.
