The risk of transmission from mother to infant as it relates to maternal herpes simplex virus (HSV) serologic status and exposure to HSV in the maternal genital tract at the time of labor has not been quantified. Furthermore, no data exist on whether cesarean delivery, the standard of care for women with genital herpes lesions at the time of delivery, reduces HSV transmission. Objective To determine the effects of viral shedding, maternal HSV serologic status, and delivery route on the risk of transmission of HSV from mother to infant. Design Prospective cohort of pregnant women enrolled between January 1982 and December 1999. Settings A university medical center, a US Army medical center, and 5 community hospitals in Washington State. Patients A total of 58 362 pregnant women, of whom 40 023 had HSV cultures obtained from the cervix and external genitalia and 31 663 had serum samples tested for HSV. Main Outcome Measure Rates of neonatal HSV infection. Results Among the 202 women from whom HSV was isolated at the time of labor, 10 (5%) had neonates with HSV infection (odds ratio [OR], 346; 95% confidence interval [CI], 125-956 for neonatal herpes when HSV was isolated vs not isolated). Cesarean delivery significantly reduced the HSV transmission rate among women from whom HSV was isolated (1 [1.2%] of 85 cesarean vs 9 [7.7%] of 117 vaginal; OR, 0.14; 95% CI, 0.02-1.08; P = .047).

The risk of transmission from mother to infant as it relates to maternal herpes simplex virus (HSV) serologic status and exposure to HSV in the maternal genital tract at the time of labor has not been quantified. Furthermore, no data exist on whether cesarean delivery, the standard of care for women with genital herpes lesions at the time of delivery, reduces HSV transmission.</span></p><p><strong>Objective</strong> <span>To determine the effects of viral shedding, maternal HSV serologic status, and delivery route on the risk of transmission of HSV from mother to infant.</span></p><p><strong>Design</strong> <span>Prospective cohort of pregnant women enrolled between January 1982 and December 1999.</span></p><p><strong>Settings</strong> <span>A university medical center, a US Army medical center, and 5 community hospitals in Washington State.</span></p><p><strong>Patients</strong> <span>A total of 58 362 pregnant women, of whom 40 023 had HSV cultures obtained from the cervix and external genitalia and 31 663 had serum samples tested for HSV.</span></p><p><strong>Main Outcome Measure</strong> <span>Rates of neonatal HSV infection.</span></p><p><strong>Results</strong> <span>Among the 202 women from whom HSV was isolated at the time of labor, 10 (5%) had neonates with HSV infection (odds ratio [OR], 346; 95% confidence interval [CI], 125-956 for neonatal herpes when HSV was isolated vs not isolated). Cesarean delivery significantly reduced the HSV transmission rate among women from whom HSV was isolated (1 [1.2%] of 85 cesarean vs 9 [7.7%] of 117 vaginal; OR, 0.14; 95% CI, 0.02-1.08; <i>P</i> = .047). Other risk factors for neonatal HSV included first-episode infection (OR, 33.1; 95% CI, 6.5-168), HSV isolation from the cervix (OR, 32.6; 95% CI, 4.1-260), HSV-1 vs HSV-2 isolation at the time of labor (OR, 16.5; 95% CI, 4.1-65), invasive monitoring (OR, 6.8; 95% CI, 1.4-32), delivery before 38 weeks (OR, 4.4; 95% CI, 1.2-16), and maternal age less than 21 years (OR, 4.1; 95% CI, 1.1-15). Neonatal HSV infection rates per 100 000 live births were 54 (95% CI, 19.8-118) among HSV-seronegative women, 26 (95% CI, 9.3-56) among women who were HSV-1–seropositive only, and 22 (95% CI, 4.4-64) among all HSV-2–seropositive women.</span></p><p><strong>Conclusion</strong> <span>Neonatal HSV infection rates can be reduced by preventing maternal acquisition of genital HSV-1 and HSV-2 infection near term.

Adjusted ORs were obtained from bivariate logistic regression. In examining risk factors for neonatal herpes, we adjusted for only 1 confounder at a time because of the small number of infected neonates and the correlation among the risk factors. We estimated rates of neonatal infection as a function of maternal serologic status at the 2 hospitals (University of Washington and Madigan) at which routine serologic testing for HSV was performed. These were derived with the assumption that the infants of women with known serologic status were a random sample of all infants delivered, stratified by hospital and time. Because serologic status was known for most women, the estimated denominators of the rates were very precisely determined, with coefficients of variation of 1%. Standard errors for neonatal infection rates by maternal serologic status were derived by the delta method, taking into account the uncertainty associated with the small number of cases as well as the estimated serologies. As the SEs derived by the delta method differed from SEs based on known denominators only in the fifth significant digit, CIs were based on exact CIs for binomial proportions. Statistical analyses were carried out using SPSS, version 8.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, Ill), and S-PLUS, version 3.1 (Insightful Corp, Seattle, Wash).

First, while women with all HSV serologic classifications are at risk of transmitting HSV to their infants, the highest risk for transmitting infection to the infant was among HSV seronegative women. This high rate reflects the high efficiency of HSV transmission from seronegative women who acquire primary HSV-1 and HSV-2 and whose infants lack type-specific transplacental antibodies. Second, women with previous HSV-2 infection are at a reduced risk for transmitting HSV-2 to their infants and at essentially no risk of transmitting HSV-1. This reflects the relatively inefficient transmission of HSV-2 in the face of type-specific transplacental antibodies and the seemingly protective effect of genital HSV-2 infection on the acquisition of genital HSV-1 infection. Third, the transmission rate of HSV is highly influenced by management of women in labor, including recognition of lesions, protection offered by cesarean delivery, and maintenance of fetal skin integrity during labor.</p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="241394702"></a> <p class="para">Perhaps the most clinically important observation from our study was the finding that cesarean delivery protects against neonatal transmission of HSV. This is the first demonstration of this effect, despite that it has been standard obstetric practice in the United States for 30 years.<sup><a href="#ref-joc20645-5" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">5</a></sup><sup>,<a href="#ref-joc20645-11" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">11</a></sup><sup>,<a href="#ref-joc20645-12" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">12</a></sup> Our data, from a cohort study that spans nearly 2 decades of management by various physicians at major service and teaching institutions, provide the first evaluation of this procedure for reducing neonatal HSV. Neonatal herpes occurred less frequently among women with genital lesions than among those experiencing subclinical shedding because women with genital lesions were more likely to undergo cesarean delivery. Ideally, management practices such as cesarean delivery for genital herpes should be defined by randomized trials. No such trial has been undertaken in the past, and such an attempt is likely to encounter considerable ethical difficulties. Although case series of neonatal HSV show that cesarean delivery is not fully protective,<sup><a href="#ref-joc20645-24" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">24</a></sup><sup>,<a href="#ref-joc20645-25" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">25</a></sup> our data indicate that it is a rational intervention and should not be abandoned.</p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="241394703"></a> <p class="para">Another novel finding was the high efficiency of transmission of HSV-1 from mother to infant, both from primary infection and reactivation of genital HSV-1, among women with genital shedding of HSV. The mechanism of this is unclear but may help explain the increasing frequency of neonatal HSV-1 infection.<sup><a href="#ref-joc20645-26" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">26</a></sup><sup>-<a href="#ref-joc20645-26" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">28</a></sup></p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="241394704"></a> <p class="para">Development of a strategy to reduce this disease burden seems imperative.

Serologic assays that detect antibodies to HSV-1– and HSV-2–specific glycoprotein G1 and G2 are now commercially available<sup><a href="#ref-joc20645-31" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">31</a></sup> and can be used to identify pregnant women who are seronegative for HSV-1, HSV-2, or both and to identify partners who present a potential risk of transmitting infection.

Small studies suggest that genital lesions at term may be prevented by long-term daily antiviral therapy in the last month of pregnancy, and such an approach is approved by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, but some experts still have concerns about the safety of this approach.<sup><a href="#ref-joc20645-11" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">11</a></sup><sup>,<a href="#ref-joc20645-39" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">39</a></sup><sup>,<a href="#ref-joc20645-40" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">40</a></sup> The occurrence of false-negative cultures decreases enthusiasm for relying on viral culture alone.
