It is suggested that the appearance of this illness is related to the conversion of HIV into AIDS. Even with the intr...

Background: The diagnosis of herpes simplex virus may requirevirological confirmation. Tzanck smear is an old, rapid, costeffective but nonspecific method that has been recently re-evaluatedas a method for the diagnosis of herpes virus infection. This studywas conducted to compare Tzanck smear and viral culture in thediagnosis of herpes simplex virus infection in patients clinicallysuspected to...

Finding out that you have herpes [2] can be a worrying experience, especially if you're unsure how this may affect your sex life and capacity to have a healthy child. Generally, for people with herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1) [3], there is a risk of transmission to future sexual partners through oral, vaginal, and anal sex ? even if the infection is asymptomatic.

Purpose To determine cellular and temporal expression patterns of herpes virus entry mediator (HVEM, Tnfrsf14) in the murine cornea during the course of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection, the impact of this expression on pathogenesis, and whether alterations in HVEM or downstream HVEM-mediated effects ameliorate corneal disease. Methods Corneal HVEM levels were assessed in C57BL/6 mice...

Development of serologic assays to detect antibodies to herpes simplex virus (HSV) glycoproteins (g)G1 and (g)G2 has allowed accurate definition of the seroprevalence of HSV-2 worldwide. Studies from all continents indicate epidemic proportions of HSV-2 infection. In the United States, 1 in 5 sexually active adults is infected. In Africa and the Caribbean, HSV prevalence is higher. Since the de...
