Abstract:
This study reports on our experience with whole herpes simplex vaccines in Bulgaria for a period of 17 years. More than 1,500 immunized patients with herpes ophtalmicus showed a reduction of the recovery period, reduced number of the recurrences and reduced risk of visual damage. More than 14,000 patients suffering from other forms of herpes diseases for a longer period showed reduced recovery period and recurrence frequency in over 95% of the cases. Whole vaccines were well tolerable with no side effects. This report emphasizes the usefulness of whole herpes vaccines.
