Herpes Factsheet 25 - Reviewed January 2004 An outbreak of herpes involves painful sores or ulcers which affect the mouth or genitals. Herpes is caused by a common virus called herpes simplex virus (HSV). Once you are infected, the virus stays in skin and nerve cells for life. However, you may not know that you are infected with HSV. Most of the time it is dormant and causes no symptoms. From time to time flare-ups do occur, especially if you have a weakened immune system. Even among people without HIV, stress, a common cold or exposure to strong ultra-violet light can cause an outbreak of active herpes. Oral and genital herpes There are two main types of HSV which both cause oral and genital infection. HSV-1 usually causes oral herpes or cold sores – tingling or painful spots on the edge of the lip where it meets the skin of the face. These can occasionally develop on the nostrils, on the gums or on the roof of the mouth. HSV-2 is usually the cause of genital herpes - painful genital or anal ulcers, sometimes accompanied with fever, headache, muscle ache and malaise. Herpes lesions often start as numbness, tingling or itching. This feeling indicates that the virus is travelling up a nerve to the skin. There it causes small bumps that rapidly develop into small inflamed fluid-filled blisters. These burst and crust over, typically taking one of week to heal in people with normal immune systems. Transmission The virus can be passed from person-to-person by contact between these lesions and mucous membranes e.g. kissing, sexual contact.

Colabora HERPES GENITAL DENOMINACION DEFINICIÓN ... DENOMINACION Herpes simple genital. DEFINICIÓN CAUSAS El herpes genital es ocasionado por dos virus que pertenecen al grupo herpesvirus hominus, conocidos, respectivamente, como herpes simple tipo 1 (HSV-1) y como herpes simple tipo 2 (HSV-2). El HSV-l es responsable, aproximadamente, del 5 al 10% de los herpes genitales. Ambos virus son transmitidos por contacto sexual. Es normal que ocurra un cruce de infecciones de tipo 1 y 2 durante el contacto sexual oral - genital. Una vez que una persona se infecta, el virus se establece en el interior de las células nerviosas fuera del alcance de los anticuerpos. El cuerpo intenta combatirlo pero esta lucha no tiene final. El virus puede, de este modo, permanecer latente (periodo de "latencia") durante un tiempo más o menos extenso, pero repentinamente la infección se reactiva y el individuo tiene otro ataque de dolor y ampollas. Los ataques recurrentes pueden ser raros, ocurriendo sólo una vez al año, o tan frecuentes que los síntomas parecen continuos. Estos ataques recurrentes pueden ser precipitados por muchas causas como la irritación mecánica, la menstruación, la fatiga, las quemaduras del sol y otras. Las infecciones recurrentes en hombres son generalmente más leves y de duración más corta que en mujeres. condiloma La infección por herpes supone un problema especialmente serio en las personas inmunodeprimidas (enfermos de

The Facts About... Genital herpes infection What is genital herpes infection? Genital herpes appears as clusters of blisters which progress to small areas of ulceration anywhere on the genital area or on the buttocks or upper thighs. The skin eruptions are sometimes particularly painful and redness, numbness and tingling are a common experience a few hours before these blisters and ulcers develop. The skin eruptions may appear once only and never recur or they may recur with changing frequency at different sites, but in the same body area, causing repeated distress. Sometimes when a person first has an attack of genital herpes, they may have severe back, neck and head pain and be so sore that they are unable to pass urine. The head and neck pains are often like meningitis. How is genital herpes infection caught? Genital herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus. This virus is well known to us as the same virus that causes cold sores. Approximately 90% of the adult population carry this virus and once infected the virus remains dormant within the individual for life. Only about 10-15% of these people ever have evidence of virus activity and this is seen as recurrent cold sores. The same herpes virus or one very similar may infect the genital area. The virus may be transferred from mouth to genital area by hand transfer or may be transferred during sexual activity. Often the person transferring the virus may not be aware that they are carrying it and transmission may take place from one person to another, even when there are no skin lesions.

Go to PDF Version Genital Herpes WHAT IS GENITAL HERPES? Herpes is an infection caused by either the Type 1 (HSV-1) or Type 2 (HSV-2) herpes simplex virus. Although the two viruses are closely related and either may be found at various body sites, each has a preferred location. Generally, HSV-1 causes infections on the lip, mouth or facial areas. HSV-2 is usually found in the genital area. HOW COMMON IS GENITAL HERPES? It is estimated that 50-80% of American adults have HSV-1 and 21% have HSV-2 herpes simplex virus. More than two-thirds of these people have positive blood tests for HSV with no history of symptoms or outbreaks. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SOMEONE IS INFECTED WITH GENITAL HERPES? HOW IS GENITAL HERPES TRANSMITTED? The herpes virus is transmitted when a person makes direct contact with a lesion or secretions of an infected person. The virus enters the body through the skin or mucous membranes of the genital area. Transmission occurs primarily through vaginal, anal and oral-genital sexual contact. The herpes virus is quite fragile and cannot survive long outside the body. Transmission through inanimate objects such as toilet seats is unlikely. Precautions include not sharing towels, underwear, or other objects that come into contact with genital lesions. Latex condoms or latex squares can reduce the risk of transmitting the virus, but lesions may be in areas not covered by the barriers. A person is considered infectious during the prodromal phase right before the outbreak of the lesions and throughout the time until the lesions are completely healed. The prodromal phase is often marked by itching, tingling or burning at the site of the upcoming outbreak. The infected person is generally contagious during the prodrome and when lesions are present. Patients with genital herpes often shed virus in outbreaks, particularly in the first year or two after acquiring HSV-2. During times of asymptomatic shedding of virus, an individual is capable of unknowingly passing the virus to others.

138. Management Of Herpes Zoster (Shingles) And Postherpetic Neuralgia - April 15, 20 AFP April 15, 2000. Management of herpes Zoster (Shingles) and Postherpetic Neuralgia. herpeszoster results from reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus. http://www.aafp.org/afp/20000415/2437.html

Advanced Search Management of Herpes Zoster (Shingles) and Postherpetic Neuralgia SETH JOHN STANKUS, MAJ, MC, USA, MICHAEL DLUGOPOLSKI, MAJ, MC, USA, and DEBORAH PACKER, MAJ, MC, USA Eisenhower Army Medical Center, Fort Gordon, Georgia A patient information handout on shingles, written by the authors of this article, is provided on page 2447. H erpes zoster results from reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus. Unlike varicella (chickenpox), herpes zoster is a sporadic disease with an estimated lifetime incidence of 10 to 20 percent. The incidence of herpes zoster increases sharply with advancing age, roughly doubling in each decade past the age of 50 years. Herpes zoster is uncommon in persons less than 15 years old. In a recent study, patients more than 55 years of age accounted for more than 30 percent of herpes zoster cases despite representing only 8 percent of the study population. In this same study, children less than 14 years old represented only 5 percent of herpes zoster cases. The normal age-related decrease in cell-mediated immunity is thought to account for the increased incidence of varicella-zoster virus reactivation. Patients with disease states that affect cell-mediated immunity, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and certain malignancies, are also at increased risk. Chronic corticosteroid use, chemotherapy and radiation therapy may increase the risk of developing herpes zoster.

139. ADAP Drugs: Famcyclovir Used to treat shingles (herpes zoster) as well as herpes simplex virus infections. (Famvir) http://www.atdn.org/access/drugs/famc.html

famciclovir (Famvir) Drug description Famciclovir is used to treat shingles (herpes zoster) as well as herpes simplex virus infections which can cause painful blisters and lesions. Famciclovir reduces the severity of outbreaks and prevents the development of new blisters. Famciclovir has also been shown to be effective for preventing genital herpes outbreaks. Managing side effects Famciclovir has few side effects. The main side effects seen in studies were headache and nausea. Dosage For shingles the recommended dosage is 500 mg every 8 hours for 7 days. For genital herpes simplex infections, the recommended dose is 125 mg twice a day for 5 days. The dosage used to prevent genital herpes outbreaks is 500 mg twice a day. In people with reduced kidney function, the dosage should be reduced. The amount of dose reduction is dependent on how well the kidney is functioning. How long it may take to work Famciclovir is usually given for 7 days to treat shingles and 5 days to treat genital herpes simplex infections. Managing side effects and drug interactions Other drugs such as probenecid that are processed through the kidneys may increase the amount of famciclovir in the body. This might increase the chances of getting side effects from famciclovir.
