Herpes simplex virus in neonates

CPD hours:
2

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection is one of the most common viral sexually transmitted infections (STI) worldwide. It presents in approximately 10 in 100,000 neonates and thorough screening and early treatment of women reduces the risk of infection of a neonate.

This short module discusses the cause and incidence of herpes simplex virus in Australia. It goes on to explain the presentation and diagnosis before providing an overview of treatment and interventions.

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
