title: Mammary herpes: a little known mode of neonatal herpes contamination.
abstract: Neonatal herpes is a severe disease. We report a case with a fatal outcome, whose transmission was linked to mammary herpes. The lack of early diagnosis delayed appropriate therapeutic management. The purpose of this report is to alert clinicians to this potential mode of transmission.
