Herpes simplex (herpes infection): treatment and prevention

Treatment of herpes simplex (herpetic infection) is prescribed taking into account the clinical form of the disease. Etiotropic treatment of herpes simplex (herpetic infection) involves the appointment of antiviral drugs. The most effective of them is acyclovir (zovirax, viralex).

Herpes simplex (herpes infection): diagnosis

The diagnosis of herpes simplex (herpetic infection) in case of skin and mucous membrane damage is established on the basis of clinical data (characteristic herpetic rash). When CNS, visceral and generalized forms are involved, laboratory diagnostics is necessary. The diagnosis of herpetic infection is confirmed by virus isolation or serologically.

Herpes simplex (herpes infection): symptoms

The course and symptoms of herpes simplex (herpetic infection) depend on the localization of the process, the age of the patient, the immune status and the antigenic variant of the virus. Primary infection is often accompanied by systemic signs. In this case, both mucous membranes and other tissues are affected.

Herpes simplex (herpes infection): causes and pathogenesis

Herpes simplex (herpetic infection) is caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 (human herpesvirus type 1 and 2), the Herpesviridae family, the subfamily Alphaherpesviruses, the genus Simplexvirus.

Herpes simplex (herpetic infection)

Herpetic infection (herpes simplex) is a widespread anthroponous virus disease with a predominantly contact mechanism for the transmission of the pathogen, characterized by the defeat of the outer covers, the nervous system and the chronic recurrent course.

Herpesvirus infections

Herpes virus infections are a group of widespread anthroponous infectious diseases caused by viruses of the Herpesviridae family that are characterized by a chronic recurrent course and lifelong persistence of the pathogen in the body.

Acute gastroenteritis caused by the Norwalk virus

Acute gastroenteritis caused by the Norvolk causative agent is an acute viral infectious disease with a fecal-oral mechanism of transmission of the pathogen, characterized by moderate intoxication and a picture of acute gastroenteritis with benign course.

Rotavirus infection: treatment

Hospitalization is subject to patients with moderate and severe forms of rotavirus infection, as well as patients with high epidemiological risk (decreed contingents). Complex treatment of rotavirus infection includes therapeutic nutrition, etiotropic, pathogenetic and symptomatic therapy.

Rotavirus infection: diagnosis

Diagnosis of rotavirus infection is based on clinical and diagnostic signs of rotavirus infection: a characteristic epidemiological history - the group nature of the disease in the winter season; acute onset of the disease; increased body temperature and intoxication syndrome

Rotavirus infection: causes and pathogenesis

The cause of rotavirus infection is a representative of the family Reoviridae, the genus Rotavirus. The name is based on the morphological similarity of rotaviruses to the wheel (from the Latin "rota" - "wheel").
