Among all infants who were evaluated and treated for HSV, 5.5% (12\/215) had neonatal HSV disease, of whom 83.3% (10\/12) were preterm infants. In comparison to term, preterm infants were more likely to be evaluated and treated, if they had a maternal history of HSV [OR 2.51 (95% CI: 1.41\u20134.48)], prolonged rupture of membranes [2.64 (1.221\u20135.73)], leukopenia [3.65 (1.94\u20136.87)] and thrombocytopenia [2.25 (0.85\u20135.89)].
