Following statements concerning neonatal herpes is/are true
A. and C.
Neonatal herpes symptoms typically present within the first month of life and Administering antiviral drugs early on can prevent the virus from spreading to the central nervous system or progressing to a full-blown disseminated infection.
Skin, eye and mouth infestations are localised infestations and not that dangerous. Mothers who had herpes in the last 6 weeks of pregnancy for the first time are at a higher risk of transmitting the same to their new born.
2.
Oophoritis (inflammation of ovaries) and adhesions (formation of fibrous bands between tissue and organs) are symptoms associated with pelvic inflammatory disease.
