[The prevention of neonatal herpes encephalitis: characteristics in a tropical area].
Neonatal herpes infection virus is rare but of poor prognosis. The only way to prevent it, is to practice a prophylactic caesarean section. In medically undeveloped countries, indication of caesarean section should be very prudent because of subsequent risks of uterine rupture. After a short recall about herpes illness, a precise and simple behaviour is proposed.
