Genital herpes is a rare disease in infants and is mainly associated with herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1. Asymptomatic carriers are frequently implicated as transmitters of the disease. Clinical manifestations are the main criteria for diagnosis, However, type-specific serologies and PCR are the most sensitive techniques for detecting HSV. Genital herpes is treated with local or systemic antiviral therapy depending on the severity of the infection. Reducing transmission relies on counseling patients. The disease prognosis is correlated with the underlying immunological status. We report a case of genital primary herpetic infection in an infant.
生殖器疱疹在婴儿中是一种罕见疾病，主要与1型单纯疱疹病毒（HSV）相关。无症状携带者常被认为是该疾病的传播者。临床表现是诊断的主要标准，然而，型特异性血清学检测和聚合酶链反应（PCR）是检测HSV最敏感的技术。根据感染的严重程度，生殖器疱疹采用局部或全身抗病毒治疗。减少传播依赖于对患者的咨询。疾病预后与潜在的免疫状态相关。我们报告一例婴儿原发性生殖器疱疹感染病例。
