Epidemiology and treatment of herpes simplex virus in the neonatal intensive care unit
Describe the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with acyclovir exposure and herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection. Our primary analysis was to evaluate the prevalence of HSV infection among infants in the NICU who received acyclovir. We compared characteristics of infants with and without HSV and used multivariable regression analyses to assess associations between infection and clinical outcomes. Of 1,057,061 infants, 17,910 (2%) received acyclovir. Of those who received acyclovir, 1090 (5%) had HSV. Infection was associated with lower gestational age and lower birth weight. Multivariable models demonstrated that infected infants had higher mortality, greater postmenstrual age at discharge, and longer length of stay. Infants in the NICU who received acyclovir and have HSV are more likely to be born at lower gestational age, have lower birth weight, and have higher morbidities and mortality.
