Brief Summary: OBJECTIVES I Evaluate whether high-dose acyclovir decreases acute and long-term morbidity and mortality in neonates with central nervous system or disseminated herpes simplex virus HSV infection

II Evaluate whether high-dose acyclovir is safe and tolerated in the newborn III Assess resistance to antiviral medication IV Amplify disease classification for the purpose of predicting prognosis V Assess any changes in viral excretion patterns VI Evaluate whether antigens and antibodies specific for HSV glycoproteins within the cerebrospinal fluid CSF predict long-term neurologic outcome

VII Evaluate whether specific antigens and antibodies in the CSF appear late after treatment and are indicative of insidious reactivation of virus in the brain
Detailed Description: PROTOCOL OUTLINE

Neonates are treated with intravenous acyclovir for 21 days Patients are followed at day 28 and at 6 12 24 36 and 48 months
