HERPES SIMPLEX
Introduction
Infection

with Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV)

is one of the most prevalent infections
worldwide
Once acquired mostly during infancy, the
virus persists lifelong in sensory local
ganglia and remains latent.
General appearance => vesicle,
eritematous

Definition
Herpes

simplex is an acute infection

caused by a virus which Herpes
simplex type 1 or 2

There

are two types of HSV: HSV-1 and

HSV-2.
HSV-1 is mostly associated with orofacial
disease
HSV-2 usually causes genital infection

eritematous
vesicle

Epidemiology
Seropositivity

to antibodies to HSV-2
is more common in women (25%)
than in men (17%)
In children less than 10 years of age,
herpetic infections are often
asymptomatic and of the HSV-1 type
(80-90%)
HSV-2 is the etiology of most genital
herpes infections (70-90%)

Test

A giant, multinucleated keratinocyte on a

Giemsa-stained smearobtained from a vesicle
base.
Biopsy

epithelial cells are enlarged, swollen, and often separated.

Multinucleated cells with intranuclear eosinophilic inclusion
bodies can be seen.
