Herpes B-virus,cercopithecine herpesvirus 1;herpesvirus simian endemic in Asian macaques is related to herpes simplex(HSV) type 1 in humans; infection with herpes B-virus in humans can result in fatal encephalitis and neurologic impairment. Human infections have been by bites, scratches, and percutaneous inoculation. HerpesB-virus infection causes minimal morbidity in macaques. Inhumans herpes ...

BACKGROUND Recurrences of herpes labialis (RHL) may be triggered by systemic factors, including stress, menses, and fever. Local stimuli, such as lip injury or sunlight exposure are also associated to RHL. Dental extraction has also been reported as triggering event. CASE REPORTS Seven otherwise healthy patients are presented with severe and extensive RHL occurring about 2-3 days after dental...

Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) is caused by production of platelet autoantibody. Then ITP can be various viral infections, including Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis C (HCV), cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus, Zika virus and others [1].

We have developed and tested a method for printing protein microarrays on glass slides and using these microarrays in a comparative fluorescence assay to detect TORCH infections. We generated protein microarrays by printing antibodies to simultaneously determine infections of TORCH (toxoplasmosis-rubella-cytomegalovirus-herpes) by detecting antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii, rubella virus, c...

We constructed insertion mutants of herpes simplex virus type 1 that contained a duplication of DNA sequences from the BamHI-L fragment (map units 0.706 to 0.744), which is located in the unique region of the L component (UL) of the herpes simplex virus type 1 genome. The second copy of the BamHI-L sequence was inserted in inverted orientation into the viral thymidine kinase gene (map units 0.3...

Unlike amantadine (1-adamantanamine), tromantadine (N-1-adamantyl-N-[2-(dimethyl amino)ethoxy]acetamide hydrochloride) inhibits herpes simplex virus type 1 (KOS strain)-induced cytopathic effect and virus replication with limited toxicity to the cells. Vero and HEp-2 cells tolerated up to 2 mg of tromantadine per 2 X 10(6) cells for 24-, 48-, or 96-h incubation periods with little change in cel...
