Human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8) or Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpes virus is the etiologic agent of Kaposi sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma, and plasma cell-type multicentric Castleman disease (MCD). HHV-8 encodes a viral homolog of human IL-6, called viral IL-6 (vIL-6), which does not require the cellular IL-6 receptor for binding to the ubiquitously expressed gp130 receptor subunit and subsequ...

OBJECTIVE Febrile Convulsion (FC) is occurred in 6 months to 5 yr old children. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of HHV-6 infection in FC admitted patients of Bandar Abbas Children Hospital, southern Iran. MATERIALS & METHODS In a cross-sectional study, 118 children aged 6-60 months who had FC were selected by a simple random method in 2010-11. Demographic data, clinica...

herpes simplex virus (hsv) is one of the common pathogenic viruses of humans bing. this study aimed to determin anti-herpes virus activity of mentha piperita extracts in vitro. mentha piperita extracts can inhibit hsv infection when the cells treated before viral adsorbtion. hsv-1 were also inhibited by menthol after viral adsorption. hsv-1 viral particles were directly inhibited and viral yiel...

The Herpes simplex viruses are responsible for a broad-spectrum of diseases affecting all age groups across the developed and developing world. The viruses are members of the herpesvirus family, which also includes the human pathogens Varicella-Zoster virus, Epstein-Barr virus, Cytomegalovirus, Human herpes virus -6 and -8. Herpes simplex virus type -1 (HSV-1) and -2 (HSV-2) are serotypically d...

Background and Aims: Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is responsible for several significant human viral diseases, with severity ranging from subclinical to fatal infection. Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV2) infections are more commonly seen in association with the genitalia and surrounding areas, and can be transmitted to newborns during childbirth. Generalized infections in newborns are also predo...

act-We describe a biodynamical regulatory model of the an T-cell system based on a set of coupled ordinary rential equations. The model incorporates subsystems esenting bone marrow, thymus and peripheral (mature T compartments and allows simulations of viral challenges to ystem which lead to various disorders such as leukemia-like romes, AIDS, and herpes infections. We provide two ples, one of ...
