Neonatal herpes simplex virus disease – Management The paeds round - from RCPCH and Medisense

We’re back for episode 3 of The Paeds Round with special guest Dr Katy Fidler joining our hosts Emma Lim and Christo Tsilifis to talk about the management of herpes simplex virus. We discuss stigma, when to worry about HSV, the importance of early detection and what to look out for.
Katy is a Paediatric Infectious Diseases Consultant in Brighton and a Reader in Paediatrics at Brighton and Sussex Medical School. She also currently runs the national study on neonatal herpes through the British Paediatric Surveillance Unit.
This is the final episode in our three-part mini-series on HSV. We’ll return in the new year to discuss fever.
