Pathogenesis and life cycle of herpes simplex virus infection-stages of primary, latency and recurrence

Congenital herpes simpleх: modern approach to prevention, diagnosis, and treatment

The analysis showed that despite the recurrent course of genital herpes in 4 out of 5 women during pregnancy, none of the pregnant women had a laboratory examination for HSV, pregnant women did not receive systemic etiological therapy and all deliveries were natural, contributing to the early development of severe forms of neonatal herpes.

Seroprevalence of Herpes Simplex virus types 1 and 2 and their Association with CD4 count among HIV-positive patients

Investigation of the seroprevalence of HSV type 1 and HSV-2 in HIV-positive patients compare with the rate in HIV -negative patients and to evaluate their association with CD4 count found high with no correlation withCD4 count.

Epidemiology of herpes simplex and varicella zoster virus in cerebrospinal fluid of patients suffering from meningitis in Iran

Risk of severe herpes simplex virus infection in systemic lupus erythematosus: analysis of epidemiology and risk factors analysis in Taiwan

Patients with SLE are at higher risk of severe HSV infection, and related risk factors include being older than 18 years, having a history of HSV mucocutaneous infection, recent receipt of steroid pulse therapy and a daily oral dose of steroid over 7.5 mg prednisolone.

[Morphological diagnosis of viral damage to a kidney transplant].

The principles of differential diagnosis of kidney transplant damage caused by viral infections and that with acute cellular and humoral rejection are described, which plays an important role due to opposite approaches to treating these diseases.

Current Antivirals and Novel Botanical Molecules Interfering With Herpes Simplex Virus Infection

Currently available anti-herpetic therapies, novel molecules being assessed in clinical trials and new botanical compounds reported in the last 20 years with antiviral activities against HSVs that might represent future treatments against these viruses are reviewed.

HSV-1 as well as HSV-2 is frequent in oral mucosal lesions of children on chemotherapy

In a novel finding, real-time PCR detected copies of HSV-2 in 69 % cases, all missed by conventional PCR, which is commonly shed from oral mucosal lesions in children receiving chemotherapy.

THE ROLE OF HUMAN HERPESVIRUS AND GBV-C COINFECTIONS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NON-HODGKIN'S LYMPHOMA IN HIV-1 POSITIVE INDIVIDUALS IN THE MULTICENTER AIDS COHORT STUDY

The hypothesis that EBV and CMV coinfections drive HIV-1 disease progression and the development of HIV-associated non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is supported and the results suggest that GBV-C plays a protective role against theDevelopment of non-hodgkins lymphoma in HIV- 1 positive individuals.

HSV-1 infection and pathogenesis in the tree shrew eye following corneal inoculation

Support of the tree shrew as a non-human primate HSK model, which could be useful for mechanistic studies of HSK, is discussed.

Management of Neonatal Herpes Simplex Virus Infection

High rates of morbidity and mortality in disseminated infections, followed by central nervous system infection and the least in SEM infection are seen, however, SEM infection is associated with poor developmental outcome even in infants who do not have encephalitis, and the prognosis for this infection is considerably improved.
