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.
