Herpes is a sexually transmitted disease caused by two herpes simplex virus (HSV type I and type II). Herpes is transmitted from person to person via direct skin-to-skin contact during oral, anal and vaginal sex. HSV I usually causes fever blisters and cold sores on the mouth, but can also cause sores on the genitals. HSV II usually causes sores on the genitals (vagina, penis, anus) and the skin around those areas. The majority of oral herpes cases are caused by HSV I and the majority of genital herpes cases are caused by HSV II; however, since so many people are now having oral sex, type-I is increasingly appearing in the genitals. HSV is different from other common viral infections because once it is introduced into your system, it lives there forever, often with periodic symptoms or without symptoms at all. How many people have it? About 50 to 80% of the adult population in the United States have oral herpes. About one in five adults in the United States has genital herpes; however, as many as 90% of these infected people don't know they have the virus. There are no accurate numbers as to how many people in San Francisco have herpes as it is not a reportable STD. Why worry about Herpes?

But you'd be forgiven if you missed its subtle reference to one of mankind's most common infections: O'er ladies ' lips, who straight on kisses dream, Which oft the angry Mab with blisters plagues, Because their breaths with sweetmeats tainted are. Act 1. Scene IV The blisters that Shakespeare refers to are in fact cold sores produced by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). There are two types of the virus. Type 1 herpes (HSV-1) is carried by over 80 per cent of the population and is the culprit behind recurrent cold sores. Most people pick it up in the first few years of life, usually in the form of a loving kiss from a parent or sibling.

Need More Info The Issue Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted infection ( STI ) that can cause painful sores on and around the genital area. There is no cure for the condition, but medication can help ease symptoms. Background Herpes simplex virus, the virus that causes genital herpes, belongs to the same family of viruses that cause cold sores, chickenpox, shingles and other diseases. Genital herpes can be transmitted during vaginal, anal or oral sex even if the infected person has no open sores or any other symptoms of infection. Although it is rare, pregnant women can pass the infection onto their babies during or after birth. Practising safer sex can help reduce the risk of getting or transmitting the infection. Symptoms of Genital Herpes Many people who have genital herpes are unaware that they have the virus because they have no symptoms, mild symptoms, or mistake the symptoms for other conditions such as jock itch, yeast infections, razor burn or allergic reactions to detergents. The only way to be sure whether or not you have genital herpes is to be tested.

A sexually transmitted disease is a disease that you get by having sex with someone who already has the disease. Genital herpes is a viral infection caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV). Once you are infected with herpes, the virus stays in your body for life. You can give herpes to another person if you have sex when your herpes virus is active. Herpes simplex virus remains in certain nerve cells of the body forever, and can produce symptoms off and on in some infected people. Herpes is spread through direct contact. So, a genital herpes infection will stay in the area it originated unless transferred elsewhere via direct contact or skin-to-skin transference. Genital herpes won't just show up on its own somewhere else on the body. Because genital herpes is spread through direct contact, it is important to avoid contact with infected areas. If a genital herpes infection is not localized, further complications may occur. For instance, a herpes infection in the eyes can lead to severe complications, including blindness. Herpes is equally common in males and females.

Treatment Herpes Zoster Overview Herpes zoster , commonly known as shingles, is caused by the same virus responsible for chicken pox. After the initial exposure, herpes zoster lies dormant in certain nerve fibers. It may become active as a result of many factors such as: aging, stress, suppression of the immune system, and certain medications. Because of the layout of the nerves that herpes zoster resides in, it only affects one side of the body or face during an outbreak. It begins as a rash that lead to blisters and sores on the skin. When the nerve branch that supplies the eye is involved, the forehead, nose, and eyelids may also be affected. Sores on the nose are a key signal of possible eye involvement. Herpes zoster can cause several problems with the eye and surrounding skin that may have long term effects. Inflammation and scarring of the

This viral envelope is derived from host cell. Below that is the tegument, consisting of various proteins. Deep to the tegument is the icosahedral capsid (pale blue), that contains the DNA genome (red body in centre of virus). HERPES VIRUSES: The Herpesviruses (family herpesviridae) are a very important group of double stranded DNA viruses that replicate inside the nuclei of their host cells. They have many characteristics in common including: double stranded DNA genome (dsDNA) icosahedral capsid tegument envelope with "glycoprotein spikes" The herpesviruses cause many major diseases.

Herpes Simplex Keratitis Signs and Symptoms The keratitis caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV) typically presents as a unilateral "red eye" with a variable degree of pain or ocular irritation. Photophobia and epiphora are common; however, vision may or may not be affected, depending upon the location and extent of the corneal lesion. You may see a vesicular skin rash and follicular conjunctivitis with the initial infection, but these are less common with recurrent HSV. A more common sign is secondary uveitis. A dendritic corneal ulcer is the hallmark sign of HSV infection, accompanied by stromal keratitis in more severe presentations. These ulcers may begin as nondescript punctate keratopathies, but quickly coalesce to form the familiar branching patterns which stain brightly with sodium fluorescein dye. Because the virus invades and compromises the epithelial cells surrounding the ulcer, the leading edges (the so-called "terminal end-bulbs") will stain with rose bengal or lissamine green. Pathophysiology Herpes simplex is actually the most common virus found in humans. It is transmitted via bodily fluids, usually saliva, and may affect the skin and mucous membranes of the host. Primary infections occur most often in children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years. It typically manifests as a vesicular rash, sometimes affecting the skin of the lids but more commonly resulting in a "fever blister" or "cold sore" in or around the mouth.

Questioning the presence of an infarct or tumor in a patient with mental status changes. Findings: Region of edema and abnormal signal in the right insula and right temporal lobe. No evidence of abnormal enhancement is identified in this region of abnormality. Diagnosis: Herpes encephalitis. Discussion: Herpes encephalitis is typically caused by herpes simplex virus 2 in the neonatal population. Herpes simplex virus 1 is responsible for this entity in children and adults due to activation of a latent infection in the gasserian ganglion. This is the most common cause of a viral encephalitis. Pathologically, this is a fulminant hemorrhagic necrotizing encephalitic process. The neonatal form of this disease is typically a diffuse, nonfocal infectious process. In the adult form, a predilection for the limbic system, particularly the temporal lobe, singulate gyrus, or subfrontal region is characteristic. Imaging with CT or MRI may be performed with MRI being more sensitive than CT. Both of these examinations are typically normal with early disease onset. Although, on MR examination, early findings of edema as evidenced by decreased signal on T1 weighted imaging and increased signal on T2 weighted imaging may be found. The edema often extends into the insular cortex with sparing of the putamen. Post Gadolinium enhancement in this region is unusual in the early stages. In the late stage of disease, typically one to two weeks following onset of disease, the contralateral temporal lobe, insula, or singulate gyrus may become infected. Contrast enhancement and changes of subacute hemorrhages may be seen. The late sequelae of herpes simplex encephalitis includes encephalomalacia, atrophy, and dystrophic calcifications.

Financing Seminars SEARCH Home Herpes Zoster (Shingles) Eye Infections What is Herpes Zoster? Herpes zoster is the medical name for shingles. It is caused by reactivation in the adult years of the chicken pox virus that occurred during childhood (the varicalla-zoster virus). The virus can be reactivated when the body's immunity to the virus breaks down. This may happen due to normal aging, or the body's immune system may become weakened due to stress from illness, physical or emotional stress, fatigue, poor nutrition, certain medications, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or other factors. Once reactivated, the virus travels along nerve fibers, usually settling in fairly isolated areas of skin on one side of the body. The infected area of the body usually has severe pain, itching, redness, numbness, and the development of a rash. The rash on the skin develops into small, fluid-filled blisters called vesicles. Within a few days of their appearance on the skin, the vesicles break open and form scabs. In severe cases, the rash can leave permanent scars, long standing pain, numbness, and skin discoloration.

YEARS AGO, BEFORE AIDS, genital herpes was in the forefront of the news as a sexual scourge. While it is no longer in the headlines, it is still very much a part of many peoples' lives: It's the most common venereal disease in the United States. Roughly twenty million Americans are infected, with about 500,000 new cases each year. Unfortunately, there is as yet no cure for herpes, but there are natural steps you can take to minimize the number and severity of outbreaks, and there is a drug that your doctor can give you that will also help to limit your outbreaks. Herpes is among the many diseases caused by herpes virus, a family of viruses with five different strains that cause ailments including chickenpox and shingles. The most common strain, herpes simplex, has two variations: type 1, which is usually associated with cold sores around the mouth, and type 2, which generally infects the genitalia, buttocks, and thighs with painful sores and blisters. But the two types of herpes can overlap: The genital infection can be acquired through oral sex with a partner who has an active cold sore. Typically, after the initial infection, the herpes virus becomes dormant in the nerves and recurs following a minor infection such as a cold, a trauma, an emotional or environmental stress, or sun exposure.

But, there are things that make you more likely to get shingles. Advanced age . The risk of getting shingles increases as you age. People have a hard time fighting off infections as they get older. The chance of getting shingles becomes much higher by age 70. Trouble fighting infections . Your immune system is the part of your body that fights off infections. Age can affect your immune system. So can an HIV infection, cancer, cancer drugs, radiation treatments, or organ transplant. Even stress or a cold can weaken your immune system for a short time and put you at risk for shingles.
