HSV-1
Most common time to contract HSV-1
Toddler
Most common HSV cause of genital lesions
HSV-2
Can HSV-1 cause genital lesions? How?
Yes, via oral sex
Inactive HSV does what?
Remains latent in ganglia
Pathogenesis of HSV
Colonizes and replicates in epithelial cells

ASCENDS to ganglia, where it remains latent

Descends to skin/mucous membrane for infection
From the epithelial cells, HSV moves through which ganglia to remain latent?
ASCENDING
Infection site is always ______ the infected ganglia
below
Primary HSV infection can be either ______ or _____
Asymptomatic

Symptomatic
Constitutional signs of symptomatic HSV infection include
Pain
Urethral/vaginal discharge
Fever
Meningitis
New HSV lesions are characterized by
vesciular (raised) serous lesions (clear fluid)
Old/healing HSV lesions are characterized by
Ulcer-like lesions
Scenario of HSV infection with the first sign of lesions after asymptomatic shedding post-infection
non-primary first episode
What reduces the recurrence of latent HSV?
STrong cellular immune response (CD4, CD8) NOT high antibody titer!
Asymptomatic with only 1-2 lesions for 7 days, with 5 days of shedding
Recurrent HSV infection
HSV infection type with multiple lesions with constitutional symptoms for 21 days with 15-20 days of shedding
Primary infection
Several lesions with absent or mild symptoms for approx 14 days, with 10 days of shedding
Non-primary first infection
Type of HSV least likely to recur?
HSV-I
Small serous vesciular lesions may indicate
HSV infection
Diagnosis of genital HSV is mainly done by
clinical appearance
Factors other than clinical appearance to dx HSV
Isolation with typing
Antigen detection
Serology with typing
Use of antiviral drugs in tx of HSV will not do what?

(test question?)
Prevent latency, recurrence, or transmission
Which antiviral drugs are used to "treat" HSV infections?
Acyclovir, Valacyclovir, Famciclovir
Goal of antiviral tx for HSV infection?
Decrease recurrences, shorten lesion duration, reduce risk of transmission
When can antivirals for HSV infections be given?
For first episode or in recurrences
Antiviral tx for first episode of HSV generally is what duration? What duration for suppressive regimens?
7-10 days for primary tx

6 mos or more for suppressive tx
Indication for suppressive tx of HSV?
>= 6 recurrences per year
Treatment regimens for HSV are
Primary Episode
Suppressive
Episodic

ulcerative STD due to H. ducreyi
Difference between Chancroid and Syphilis lesion
Chancroid lesions are PAINFUL
Diagnosis of Chancroid is made by
Ruling out syphilis and genital herpes
