Herpes Simplex

An infection caused by the herpes virus, characterized by the eruption of painful blisters on the skin is called Herpes Simplex. Herpes simplex virus can lead to the outbreak of infections on the lips, mouth and face (Herpes Simplex Virus type1). This condition can also cause genital lesions (Herpes Simplex Virus type 2) as well as chicken pox and shingles (Varicella-zoster virus). HSV infections can be very annoying because they can reappear. The sores are usually painful and unsightly and for chronically ill people and newborn babies, the viral infection can be serious but rarely fatal.


Herpes Simplex can be caused by at least eight distinct DNA viruses, including herpes simplex virus type 1; herpes simplex virus type 2, varicella-zoster virus, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus and three newly described human herpes viruses, types 6, 7 and 8. The herpes virus proliferates by spreading to nerve cells within the body and then to other mucosal skin surfaces. It remains dormant in the body after a primary infection and can reoccur after some time. <Read More>
