The human herpesvirus family is larger than previously thought, causing new diseases. Advances in diagnostics and treatments offer hope for managing herpesvirus infections.

Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Immunology

Background:

  • The human herpesvirus (HHV) family encompasses a diverse group of viruses with significant public health implications.
  • Previously unrecognized or unknown illnesses are now being linked to HHV infections.
  • The clinical landscape of herpesvirus diseases is evolving, necessitating updated understanding and management strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the expanded scope of the human herpesvirus family.
  • To underscore the association of HHVs with emerging and previously unknown diseases.
  • To review recent advancements in the clinical diagnosis and therapeutic management of herpesvirus infections.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent studies on human herpesviruses.
