Abstract:
We report a case of congenital infection of Herpes Simplex Virus-2 (HSV-2) in an extremely premature infant born at 25 weeks of gestation presenting in unusual manner with hydrops, atypical, extensive, hemorrhagic bullous rash, hepatosplenomegaly, coagulopathy and multi-organ failure. Placental and autopsy investigations confirmed in-utero transmission of disseminated congenital HSV-2 infection without any maternal history of HSV.
