History of herpes genitalis.
نویسنده
چکیده
Mettler (1947) suggested that the first description of herpes febrilis was given by the Roman physician Herodotus, who lived in A.D. 100 in the reign of Trajan. Herodotus described "the herpetic eruptions which appeared about the mouth at the crisis of simple fevers, and the weals of febrile urticaria". AMtius of Amanda (1949a, b), Royal physician and Lord High Chamberlain at the Court of Byzantium, gives an account of this and a description of the lesions of herpes simplex in the Tetrabiblion.
