... HSV-2 is responsible for approximately 85% of symptomatic primary genital HSV infections, most of which are recurrent infections. Some complications associated with genital herpetic infections include aseptic meningitis, extragenital lesions, and neonatal herpes (in the case of maternal transmission)

... Central Nervous System Infections For the purposes of the calculations in this report, it was assumed that all CNS infections are associated with hospitalization and multiple specialist examinations, plus diagnostic evaluation. Long-term-care costs are included for the few patients who experience lifelong, serious neurologic sequelae.

From page 204...
... Most of the disease burden is associated with genital and CNS infections due to the large number of genital infections and the serious, chronic sequelae associated with the relatively fewer cases of CNS HSV disease. If a vaccine program for HSV were implemented today and the vaccine was 100% efficacious and utilized by 100% of the target population, the annualized present value of the health care costs saved would be $850 million.
