HSV-2

Clinical manifestations of HSV-2 infection

1. Primary infection presents as papules progressing to vesicles and pustules,

lymphadenopathy and tenderness, 3-4 weeks duration

2. Recurrent infection characterized by prodrome followed by groups of vesicles on external genitalia, 1-2 weeks duration

3. Neonatal herpes usually due to HSV-2 acquired by passage through infected birth

canal; 60% mortality with survivors suffering neurologic sequelae; disseminated vesicular lesions with internal organ involvement

Neonatal herpes

HSV-1

Clinical manifestations of HSV-1 infection

1. Primary infection often asymptomatic; 50-90% of population is seropositive

2. Primary gingivostomatitis—fever, irritability, painful vesicular lesions on buccal

mucosa, tongue, gums, throat, 1-2 weeks duration

3. Recurrent infection characterized by prodrome, followed by unilateral vesicles of 1

week duration

4. Ocular lesions can lead to permanent corneal scarring

5. Causes 10% of viral encephalitis with 70% mortality if untreated

Characteristics

Pathophysiology

Pathophysiology of infection

1. Acute infection results in multinucleated cells (syncytia), ballooning degeneration of epithelial cells, necrosis, inclusion bodies, inflammatory response, cell to cell spread, latent infection of ganglia

2. Latent infection does not destroy ganglia; viral genome persists as circular DNA; reactivation of virus replication leads to recurrent disease

3. Recurrence triggered by stress, ultraviolet light, hormonal flux

4. Spreads from cell to cell in presence of antibody

5. Cell-mediated immunity contributes to symptoms and resolution

Triggers for recurrence

Hormonal flux

UV light

Stress
