Epidemiology of Herpes Simplex Virus in Europe Transitioning
The epidemiology of herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1 is transitioning away from oral acquisition in childhood with an increasing proportion of HSV-1 detection in genital herpes.
Herpes Simplex Virus
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Viruses, and the Innate Immune System
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) is a disorder characterized by marked fatigue, exertion induced malaise, cognitive clouding (or brain fog), impaired academic/work performance, disrupted sleep, and joint/muscle pain.
Initial Presentation Not Associated With Pathogen in Infectious Encephalitis
A team of French investigators sought to identify factors that could be considered predictive of the etiology of infectious encephalitis.
Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 Contributes Considerably to HIV Acquisition
A substantial number of HIV infections are likely attributable to pre-existing infection with the herpes simplex virus type 2.
Quality Improvement Standardizes Neonatal HSV Care Approaches
Point-of-care availability and interventions targeted at clinician engagement may improve adherence to a new guideline for neonatal HSV management.
Certain Infections Associated with Higher Rates of Parkinson Disease
Certain viral and bacterial infections are associated with higher rates of Parkinson disease.
Tenofovir Gel Reduces Risk for Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 Acquisition
Among tenofovir gel users, detection of plasma tenofovir may be associated with a reduced risk for herpes simplex virus type 2.
Valacyclovir Fails to Treat Herpes Simplex Virus-Type 1 in Schizophrenia
Valacyclovir was not efficacious in the study, perhaps because HSV-1 was in the dormant, nonactivated state and therefore non-responsive to valacyclovir effects.
Robust Immune Responses for Herpes Zoster Subunit Vaccine
Humoral response seen for 97.8% of HZ/su vaccine recipients vs 2% of placebo.
HSV-1 and HSV-2 Seroprevalence Among Pregnant Women in the United States
Further investigation into new strategies to prevent herpes simplex virus (HSV) acquisition in pregnant women and to prevent HSV transmission from mother to neonate are warranted.
