    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Occupational Health

    Background:

    • Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a common infection with potential health implications.
    • Nurses, particularly in obstetric settings, may face occupational exposure risks.
    • Limited local epidemiological data exists for HSV among healthcare workers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the incidence of morbidity from herpes simplex virus (HSV) among nurses.
    • To analyze the impact of HSV infection on nurse rostering and sick leave.
    • To identify the need for local epidemiological data on HSV in this population.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of morbidity data.
    • Review of hospital records for HSV diagnoses.
    • Examination of rostering and sick leave patterns.

    Main Results:

    • The incidence of morbidity from herpes simplex virus (HSV) among nurses was documented.
    • Analysis revealed the absence of specific local epidemiological data for HSV.
    • The influence of HSV infection on nurse rostering and sick leave was assessed.

    Conclusions:

    • The study underscores the importance of understanding HSV epidemiology in healthcare settings.
    • A need for local data collection on HSV incidence among nurses is identified.
    • Findings suggest implications for workforce management and infection control strategies.
