Abstract
- A case of type 2 neonatal herpes simplex encephalitis is presented. The mechanism of infection is discussed in view of the fact that the firstborn identical twin was unaffected. Longer exposure to the virus during delivery is proposed as an explanation for the involvement of only the secondborn twin.
