abstract: herpes simplex encephalitis (hse) is a life threatening outcome of herpes simplex virus (hsv) infection of the central nervous system (cns). hsv accounts for 2-5 percent of all cases of encephalitis. one third of cases occur in those younger than 20 years old and one half in those older than 50 years old. clinical diagnosis is recommended in the encephalopathic, febrile patients with ...

Introduction: Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1) is the virus that most often infects oral cavity. HSV-1 in latent phase migrates to trigeminal ganglion after primary infection and can reactivate cause recurrent intraoral herpes (RIH). The recurrence of RIH multifactorial triggered by decreased immunity, fatigue, hypersensitivity, stress, ultraviolet. Case: Three male patients came Oral Diseas...

background: recent research on several dna fragments covering open reading frames (orf) 1-37 shows a new genetic marker in orf 6 which is specific for differentiating wild-type varicella-zoster virus (vzv) strains from oka varicella vaccine strain. on the other hand, herpes simplex virus (hsv) genome analysis by restriction enzymes is used to differentiate types one and two of the virus and eve...

objective: evaluation of bax encoding plasmid for increasing efficacy of dna vaccine plasmid encoding gb of herpes simplex virus type 1. materials and methods: we compared three different dosages of bax encoding plasmid (pcbax) including 10, 25 and 50 μg of plasmid dna. they were co-injected ineradermally with glycoprotein b (gb) of herpes simplex virus (hsv)-1 encoded plasmid (pcgb) in c57bl/6...

  Herpes simplex virus type 1 establishes a latent infection in the peripheral nervous system following primary infection. During latent infection, virus genome exhibit limited transcription, with the HSV LATs consistently detected in latency infected ganaglia. Following ocular infection viral latency develops in the trigeminal ganglia. In this study PCR has been used for detection of HSV-1 nuc...

Background and objective: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare histiocytic proliferative disorder of unknown etiology and mainly affects young children. The histological feature is granuloma-like proliferation of langerhans-type dendritic cells. Although the possible role of viruses such as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV, Human Herpes virus -4</...

INTRODUCTION The changing epidemiology of genital herpes in Edinburgh is described in relation to herpes simplex virus (HSV) Type 1 and herpes simplex virus Type 2 infection over a period of 14 years. METHODS 2018 episodes of genital herpes in 1794 patients over a 14 year period were assessed. Data on age, sex, sexual orientation, geographical origin and herpes antibodies were also analysed. ...

Herpes simplex encephalitis is a severe neurological disease with high mortality and morbidity rates. Reactivated herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) can cause relapses and might even spread to the retina, where it can induce a potentially blinding eye disease, known as acute retinal necrosis. In the present study, the HSV-1 strains in the brain and eye of 2 patients with acute retinal necrosis...

Background: Sodium valproate, an anticonvulsant drug, is reported to stimulate Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 and Human cytomegalovirus replication. Since epileptic patients undergoing sodium valproate therapy may suffer from various virus infections, the effect of this drug on replication of viruses especially those affecting neuronal tissues such as Herpes simplex virus type 1 is worthy ...
