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 Byzan...

background: herpes simplex viruses (hsv) are human pathogens that establish lytic and latent infections. reactivation from latency occurs intermittently, which represents a life-long source for recurrent infection. the role of immune factors in the control of recurrent symptomatic hsv lesions is complex and the exact role of cytokines remains unclear. objective: to assess the levels of tumor ne...

Idiopathic peripheral facial nerve palsy has been associated with the reactivation of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) or varicella zoster virus (VZV). In recent studies, detection rates were found to vary strongly which may be caused by the use of different oral fluid collection devices in combination with molecular assays lacking standardization. In this single-center pilot study, liquid p...

A infecção pelo vírus do herpes simples tipo 1 (HSV-1) é considerada comum em todo o mundo e clinicamente manifesta sinais sintomas na região oral. história natural da doença compreende as fases de primária, latência recorrente. O labial a manifestação clínica recorrente, caracterizada por pequenas numerosas pápulas eritematosas dolorosas, que constituem conglomerados vesículas se rompem formam...

More about fever blisters and cold sores: HSV-1typically affects the mouth and facial areas, although it can be transmitted to the genital area through oral-genital sex. Herpes simplex two (HSV-2) most commonly affects the genital area, but may also cause blisters on the mouth. The virus can be transmitted through direct contact with a lesion, through contact with fluid from a lesion, and throu...

We report the anaesthetic management of a pregnant patient with multiple manifestations of HIV infection who underwent Caesarean section. A 30-yr-old, HIV-positive, Haitian woman presented with acute psychosis at 28 weeks' gestation. A diagnosis of HIV dementia complex was made and haloperidol therapy was started. Five days after admission the patient was found to be in labour and tocolytic the...

OBJECTIVE To determine efficacy of using oral antiviral medication to reduce herpes gladiatorum (HG) at summer high-school wrestling camps. DESIGN Usage of antiviral medication hypothetically reduces the likelihood of HG outbreaks. This is an observational study examining the effectiveness of oral antiviral medications in reducing outbreaks of HG because of Herpes Simplex type-1 virus (HSV). ...

Herpes simplex virus type 1 is a human pathogen responsible for a range of illnesses from cold sores to encephalitis. The icosahedral capsid has a portal at one fivefold vertex which, by analogy to portal-containing phages, is believed to mediate genome entry and exit. We used electron cryotomography to determine the structure of capsids lacking pentons. The portal vertex appears different from...
