Re: Active non-genital herpes and birthFrom: DoctorJoe@aol.comMon Aug 24 06:32:49 1998
In a message dated 8/23/98 3:40:59 PM, you wrote: <<A current client of mine has active herpes lesions on her left wrist only. She has never had it genitally, and has been using oral and topical meds for 2 weeks now. She will be 40 weeks tomorrow. Her dr has been saying that if she went into labor before the lesions were completely clear, she would probably have to have a c-section. All info I can find about herpes and c-sections relates to genital herpes lesions only. What would be your preferred route of delivery for this woman prior to total clearance of the lesions -- vaginal or c-section?>> The literature deals with GENITAL herpes. I've never seen anyone formally recommend cesarean delivery for nongenital herpes, such as you describe here. I think it's ludicrous, from a scientific standpoint. 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.
