Abstract
We report the case of a female infant with an intrauterine herpes simp lex type II infection in zosteriform distribution. She was treated wit h several courses of intravenous acyclovir leading to healing of the s kin with segmental scarring. This patient is unusual in that the infec tion occurred in zosteriform distribution without any evidence of syst emic involvement.
