title: [Acute herpesviridae hepatitis during pregnancy: A review].
abstract: Viral hepatitis are well defined during pregnancy, including hepatitis A, B, C, D or E. In contrast, viral hepatitis called non-alphabetic, like viruses Herpesviridae family hepatitis [cytomegalovirus (CMV), varicella-zoster virus (VZV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) or herpes simplex virus (HSV)] are rarely described. The aim of this article is to make a focus on the care of these viral herpesviridae hepatitis during pregnancy. Herpes hepatitis is more common during pregnancy, with a neonatal risk at peripartum period. VZV infection can cause disease to the fetus, with possible vertical transmission, and induce congenital or neonatal varicella. While EBV infection during pregnancy seems benign, the CMV is a high risk of birth defects. The management of these patients therefore depends on the gestational age, but especially the type of virus involved. The diagnosis is therefore essential to adapt treatment and obstetrical care.
