Herpes simplex viruses (HSV 1 and 2) can cause serious infections, especially in immunocompromised individuals. This review covers the latest diagnostic, therapeutic, and prophylactic strategies for managing HSV infections.

Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Immunology
  • Infectious Diseases

Context:

  • Herpes simplex viruses (HSV-1 and HSV-2) establish lifelong latent infections after primary mucosal contact.
  • Reactivation leads to person-to-person transmission, often causing mild mucosal infections but posing risks to immunocompromised individuals.
  • HSV-2 is a significant risk factor for HIV/AIDS, and inadequate diagnostics and treatments persist globally.

Purpose:

  • To review current diagnostic, therapeutic, and prophylactic measures for HSV infections.
  • To highlight the role of dermatologists in managing these viral infections.
  • To discuss emerging strategies including vaccines.

Summary:

  • HSV-1 and HSV-2 establish latency and transmit during reactivation, typically causing mucosal infections but potentially life-threatening disease in immunocompromised hosts.
