It's true: the herpes virus can infect various parts of the eye, including the eyelid, cornea, and parts of the inner-eye [2]. Thankfully, you can still safely make steamy eyes with someone across with room without worry ? similar to other herpes infections, the ocular variety is transmitted through skin-to-skin contact. Although this type of infection is fairly uncommon (affecting about 50,000...

Thirteen patients with herpesvirus infections who were unresponsive to at least 72 h of intermittent acyclovir administration received high-dose continuous infusion. Steady-state concentrations were maintained at between 20 and 98 mumol/liter. Of 12 patients who had continuous infusion for greater than 5 days, 7 (58%) resolved their infections, as determined by clinical and virologic parameters...

This review summarises the occurrence of herpesvirus infections in pinnipeds and data from investigations carried out by the authors. These data demonstrate that herpesvirus isolates collected from harbour seals (Phoca vitulina Linnaeus, 1758) during the 1988 seal epidemic were almost indistinguishable from feline herpesvirus 1 and that Antarctic Weddell's seals (Leptonychotes weddelli Lesson, ...

The management of genital herpesvirus infections in pregnancy has seen many changes over the past decade as we have continued to learn more about the epidemiology of the disease. This article reviews these changes and highlights ongoing controversies. Clinical management schemes are proposed based upon this most recent information.

A case is presented of pulmonary cytomegalic inclusion disease in adult. The condition was only diagnosed post mortem. A detailed description of the inclusions and inclusion-bearing cells is given. Histochemical observations which reveal an outer and inner zone to the intranuclear inclusion body are confirmed. Electron microscopy shows the viral basis of the infection. The morphology of the vir...

Passively immunized hairless mice were inoculated cutaneously with herpes simplex virus. Thirty-nine days later, when the primary cutaneous lesions had completely healed, the mice were treated subcutaneously with prednisone. Within 12 to 30 days after starting prednisone treatment, herpesvirus was recovered by skin swabs from 12 of 71 (17%) of the treated mice. This new model has potential appl...

Herpesviruses are host specific pathogens that are widespread among vertebrates. Genome sequence data demonstrate that most herpesviruses of fish and amphibians are grouped together (family Alloherpesviridae) and are distantly related to herpesviruses of reptiles, birds and mammals (family Herpesviridae). Yet, many of the biological processes of members of the order Herpesvirales are similar. A...
