INFECTION in newborns there are two types of early infection (early infection) and late infection (late infection). Called early Infection because of an infection acquired from the mother while still in the womb. While late infection is an infection acquired from the outside environment, can be contracted through the air or by others. Can be exposed to a variety of infections in newborns, such as, herpes, Toxoplasma, Rubella, CMV, hepatitis, eczema, urinary tract infections, ear infections, skin infections, acute respiratory infections (ARI), and HIV / AIDS.

Herpes (HSV)
Herpes virus consists of two types, namely herpes simplex type 1 and herpes simplex type 2. Herpes simplex type 1, usually infects in and around the mouth. While herpes simplex type 2, usually on the genitals (sex organs) that is also called genital herpes.

Genital herpes on the cervix that are often without clinical symptoms is not a threat lightly, especially for pregnant women.

HSV-2 can affect the condition of pregnancy or the fetus or baby. If the transmission occurs in I trimester of pregnancy, it tends to cause abortion. While at Second trimester premature birth can happen.

If the genital herpes about a mother and at the time of delivery was a recurrence, risk of spread to a baby who was born when the birth process.

Infants exposed to HSV-2 result from any variety of lesions to microsefali (small head), or hydrosefali (head edema), inflammation of the eye, inflammation of the brain (encephalitis), as well as a thorough skin eruption.

Approximately one in a thousand babies born to mothers with genital herpes risk of contracting herpes. If not treated, 50-80 percent of babies born with congenital herpes will die.

Transmission to infants majority (90 percent) occurred during the birth process, 5 percent of the fetus through the placenta or the fetus directly (fetal). The rest, 5 percent, HSV-2 obtained after the delivery.

Long contact with infected fluids, may increase the risk of infected infants. Thus, in pregnant women who suffer from primary genital herpes, in the last six weeks of pregnancy are encouraged to undergo Cesarean surgery before or within four hours after the rupture of membranes.

Besides, Cesarean surgery will be performed on women with the virus growth at or near birth. However, Cesarean surgery is not always done in women with recurrent genital herpes.

To ensure certainty, the virus needs to be done and blood tests from the ages of 32-36 weeks of pregnancy. Furthermore, at least every week is the culture of cervical secretions and external genitals. When the culture that incubated the virus at least four days gave negative results twice in a row, and did not appear genital lesions at delivery, normal delivery can be done.
