If she has lesions at delivery, a c-section would be in order. Nowadays, some will use antivirals (e.g. acyclovir) in the third trimester to prevent/"prophylax against" an outbreak at that time. Consult any good MFM book and there should be pretty standard treatment guidelines, or the MMWR, which is available on the Internet. Joe P.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
