The presence of complement-fixing antibody to an early herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) antigen (the AG-4 antigen) was correlated with HSV-2 infection in the sera of patients with genital herpes. Eighty-eight per cent of sera taken two weeks after clinical diagnosis of a primary or recurrent herpes infection in patients, confirmed to have HSV-2 by virus isolation and typing, contained the an...

It was demonstrated that newborn mice, surviving an infection with attenuated herpes simplex virus, become resistant to challenge with a pathogenic strain of herpes simplex virus. This resistance did not seem to be mediated by antibody.

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...

Herpes zoster causing skin eruptions and neuropathic pain is routinely seen in the clinical setting. We present an interesting case of weakness involving more than one nerve root level secondary to shingles. The differential diagnosis of lower extremity weakness is long. While a polyradiculopathy secondary to herpes zoster infection is rare, it must be considered in a patient with dermatomal in...

Tissue transplantations are often associated with severe infections. Cornea replacement as the most frequent transplantation worldwide bears risk of keratitis caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV), posing a and sight-threatening complication. To overcome current lack effective HSV therapy in eye, biodegradable nanofibrous scaffolds incorporating acyclovir (ACV) intended for along cornea graft to...

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether adverse psychological consequences and impaired sexual and interpersonal functioning are present in individuals suffering from recurrent genital herpes simplex infection (HSV). DESIGN A questionnaire-based study completed by subjects defined as having more than one episode of HSV infection. SUBJECTS Completed questionnaires were returned from 90 subjects; 40...

BACKGROUND Herpesvirus infections often complicate the clinical course of patients with inflammatory bowel disease; however, invasive disease due to herpes simplex virus is distinctly uncommon. METHODS We present a case of herpes simplex virus colitis and hepatitis, review all the previously published cases of herpes simplex virus colitis, and discuss common clinical features and outcomes. We...

This guideline intents to offer guidance on the diagnosis and management of patients with gastrointestinal symptoms a suspected sexually transmitted cause. Proctitis is defined as an inflammatory syndrome anal canal and/or rectum. Infectious proctitis can be via genital–anal mucosal contact, but some also digital contact toys. Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis (including lymphogranul...
