. • The risk of transmission of HSV to neonate is higher with primary infection acquired closer to the time of delivery and less risk with recurrantinfections. • This is explained possibly by:- (1).decreased transplacentally acquired antibody levels[slideshare.net]
Thus, neonatal HSV infection is most often caused by primary maternal HSV infection, rather than recurrentinfection.[openanesthesia.org]

Treatment may also be needed for the effects of herpes infection, such as shock or seizures. Because these babies are very ill, treatment is often done in the hospital intensive care unit.[medlineplus.gov]
Other signs, which can occur singly or in combination, include temperature instability, lethargy, hypotonia, respiratory distress, apnea, and seizures.[merckmanuals.com]
A trial to reduce the dose of levamisole resulted in a new episode of seizures and skin lesions. A similar relapse was observed at the age of 7 months, which resulted in control of symptoms by increasing the dose of levamisole.[karger.com]
