Acyclovir and HERPES in pregnancyFrom: Bert Gold (bgold@itsa.ucsf.EDU)Wed Apr 10 16:57:03 1996
Doctors, Please consult your libraries: 1) Pregnancy outcomes following systematic acyclovir exposure June 1, 1984- June 30, 1993; in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, 42 (41): 806-809, October 22, 1993. 2) Andrews, EB; Yankaskas, BC; Cordero, JF, Schoeffler,K and Haupp, S. (1992) Acyclovir in pregnancy registry: Six years experience: The acyclovir in pregnancy registry advisory committee. Obstetrics and Gynecology 79 (1): 7-13. 3) Haddad, J, Layer, B.; Astruc, D.; Messer, J. and Lokiec, F. (1993) Oral acyclovir and recurrent genital herpes during late pregnancy. Obstetrics and Gynecology 82 (1) 102-4. Anecdotally, I would confess to members of this list that for the longest time I thought I had Herpes Simplex, getting genital lesions under stress, however, after a thorough work-up looking at every possible antibody by Roche, whatever I have, it ain't herpes. That is perhaps why it never appears to respond to acyclovir... (Sometimes topical cortisone analogs help, but not consistently, and yes, I know that these would be contraindicated during pregnancy, I'm just trying to give you something to think about as you advise your patients.)
-- Bert Gold, Ph.D. "If only we stay with that principle University of California, San Francisco which counsels us always to hold School of Medicine to the difficult, then that which Department of Pediatrics now seems to us most foreign, will Program in Medical Genetics become what we most trust and (415) 476-2850 find most faithful." - R.M. Rilke

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.
