Causes Symptoms and Treatment of Herpes Simplex Infection
Meaning of Herpes Virus: Herpes, the first refers to the
yellow-white or translucent small blisters that appear on the skin surface,
often appearing as a sheet, which is full of liquid. Smallpox, chickenpox, etc.
all have this symptom; the second refers to a skin disease. The pathogen is a
virus, which mostly occurs on the upper lip or face. Itching first occurs
locally, and then a blister-like bulge appears. It contains a transparent
liquid. Slight pain, scab self-healing after a week or two. Herpes is divided
into genital herpes, herpes simplex, and shingles. Today we come to understand
one of them-herpes simplex.
What is herpes simplex?
In fact, herpes is a common and infectious skin disease with
an ancient history, and the relevant records have even been seen in ancient
Greece. Herpes simplex is an acute herpes skin disease caused by the herpes
simplex virus. It can occur throughout the body. Humans are the only natural
host for herpes simplex virus. The virus enters the body through the
respiratory tract, oral cavity, genital mucosa, and damaged skin, and resides
in the human normal mucosa, blood, saliva, and sensory ganglion cells.
The pathogen of herpes simplex is human herpes simplex virus,
which belongs to the herpes simplex virus family α subfamily and herpes simplex
virus genus. It is divided into two subtypes HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-1 subtype
mainly invades the waist. The above parts, especially the face and brain
tissue; and HSV-2 type mainly invades the lower waist, especially the genitals,
etc., so it is called genital herpes; but this distinction is not strict.
Human herpes simplex virus does not have strong resistance to
the outside world. It can be inactivated by heating at 56 ° C for 30min, UV
irradiation for 5min, and other lipid solvents such as ether; however, its
biological activity can be stored for a long time at -70 ° C.
In vitro Culture
In an in vitro culture environment, herpes simplex virus can
infect almost all kinds of embryonic and newborn animal-derived fibroblasts and
epithelial cells, and quickly produce lesions visible to the naked eye.
Therefore, in some difficult cases, the method of in vitro culture to isolate
the virus can be used to help clinical diagnosis.
What are the Herpes simplex symptoms?
Everyone is not very familiar with herpes simplex. The
previous article mentioned that herpes simplex can occur throughout the body.
So what are the symptoms of herpes simplex?
Herpes simplex symptoms
1. Symptoms of primary infection herpes simplex
The primary
infection can be subclinical. If the clinical symptoms are present, the severity
is greater than recurrent lesions. The incubation period is 3 to 5 days.
Herpes gingivostomatitis is the most common primary infection
and occurs in children as young as 15 years. Gingival swelling and bleeding,
blisters, erosions, ulcers on the tongue, pharynx, palate, and buccal mucosa.
The ulcer is covered with a pale yellow false film with fever, discomfort,
salivation, restlessness, bad breath, and painful eating. Local lymph nodes are
enlarged and painful. . Fever subsides after 3-5 days, and usually fully
recovers within 2 weeks.
2. Genital herpes:
Males are more common in the glans, foreskin and penis, and
females are in the vulva, vagina, and cervical mucosa. Several red pimples and
blisters occurred early, accompanied by local itching and burning sensations.
Superficial ulcers formed after the blister broke, and dry crusts later. May
have fever, discomfort, headache, fatigue and other symptoms. Without
treatment, the course of disease lasts 2 to 3 weeks.
3. Inoculated herpes simplex:
The virus is directly inoculated on normal skin or skin
abrasions. After 5 to 7 days, local hard papules, bullae, or irregularly
dispersed blisters will appear. Local lymph nodes will swell and systemic
symptoms are generally mild. Fingertip vaccination causes herpetic gangrene,
local redness and pain, and the blisters fuse into a honeycomb appearance or
form bullae.
Recurrent infection herpes simplex
Compared with the primary infection, recurrent blisters are
smaller and denser, generally lack systemic symptoms, and often do not involve
the buccal mucosa. There was a local itching or burning sensation 1-2 hours
before the rash, and then clustered blisters appeared on the inflammatory
substrate, which usually healed within 7 to 10 days without leaving scars.
The
face is most often affected (especially around the mouth) and can occur in
other areas. Relapses are usually in the same area, but not always in the same
area. Genital herpes recurrence is extremely common and manifests as clusters
of small blisters and superficial ulcers.
How does herpes simplex cause?
After understanding the symptoms of herpes simplex, friends
of patients must find the symptoms of herpes simplex as soon as possible and
put them into treatment as soon as possible. But many people are puzzled, how
does herpes simplex cause it?
DNA virus herpes simplex virus infection (40%):
The disease is caused by the herpes simplex virus of DNA
virus. Human herpes simplex virus is divided into two types, namely herpes
simplex virus type I (HSV-I) and herpes simplex virus type II (HSV-II).
Type I
mainly causes genitals. Infections of skin, mucous membranes (oral mucosa) and
organs (brain) other than type II mainly cause skin and mucous membrane
infections in the genital area.
Herpes Transmission (20%):
The virus enters the body through the respiratory tract, oral
cavity, genital mucosa and damaged skin, and resides in the normal mucosa,
blood, saliva and sensory ganglion cells of the human body. When the body's
resistance decreases, such as fever, gastrointestinal disorders, menstruation,
pregnancy, lesions When infection and mood change, latent HSV is activated in
the body. Human is the only natural host of herpes simplex virus.
This virus
exists in the blister fluid, saliva and feces of patients, restorers or healthy
carriers. The main transmission method is direct contact infection. It can also
be transmitted through tableware contaminated by saliva. Indirect infection.
Source of infection (20%):
It is clinically divided into primary herpes simplex
infection and recurrent herpes simplex virus infection. Primary herpes simplex
infections are caused by contact with patients with herpes simplex.
Herpes
simplex virus can be transmitted through the mouth-breathing, or through the
skin and mucous membranes. Infections at the herpes lesions, such as the
cornea, and herpes simplex virus infection in infected patients and
asymptomatic detoxifiers.
The virus is present in their saliva and feces.
Therefore, patients with this disease should avoid contact with other children
and young infants. Recurrent herpes simplex The infection is caused by the
activation of latent herpes simplex virus in the body, and there is currently
no ideal method to prevent recurrence.
How to treat simple cell rash?
How to treat simple cell rash? At present, the most effective
treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine inhibition therapy: genital
herpes is a stubborn disease, and it is difficult to cure it. Traditional
medicine has been helpless for genital herpes. Topical Hericon drugs are rich
in highly active proteolytic enzymes, which can quickly dissolve the protein
shell of the herpes virus, allowing the drug components to quickly enter the
virus and destroy the gene chain.
In addition, antiviral treatment is also the main treatment for herpes simplex
1. Acyclovir (ACV) is an open-chain purine nucleoside, which
can inhibit the synthesis of viral DNA and has less effect on the synthesis of
host cell DNA. It is considered to be the most effective anti-HSV drug at
present.
In severe cases, it can be administered intravenously at a dose of 5
mg per kilogram of body weight every 8 hours for a total of 5 to 7 days.
Ordinary patients can take orally, 200 mg each time, 5 times a day, or 800 mg
each time, 2 times a day for a total of 5 to 7 days. It can reduce the virus
quickly, reduce the symptoms and shorten the healing time. External use of 3%
to 5% ACV ointment can also reduce symptoms and shorten the course of the
disease. The drug has no significant side effects.
2. Hericang can obviously inhibit the replication of herpes
virus and has a better effect on primary herpes.
3. Herikang can significantly inhibit the replication of
herpes virus, and has a better effect on primary herpes.
What medicines are used for treatment?
Vaccines and immunosuppressants For patients with severe
primary genital herpes and recurrent episodes, non-specific vaccines such as
BCG and polio vaccines can be tried to improve the body's non-specific
immunity, but their effects are less reliable and have immunosuppression And
immunodeficiency patients.
Immune enhancers can be used in patients with recurrent
genital herpes to improve the body's immune regulation. Such as levamisole,
50mg each time, 3 times a day, after taking 3 consecutive days, the drug is
discontinued for 11 days, that is, 3 days every 2 weeks. You can also use
levamisole coating solution, apply to the flexion of the forearm, once a day
for 3 consecutive days. Take the medicine 3 days a week.
Chinese medicine external treatment method: Chinese medicine
cream Hericang local symptoms can be eliminated within 30 days, increase
exercise can not be lazy.
Can simple rash be cured?
I've been impressed to have seen a simple eczema on the face,
and I hope this disease can be avoided. Can simple rash be cured? Doctors
suggest to go to the hospital for treatment in time without too much mental
load. Herpes simplex can be cured.
Herpes simplex is commonly called "fever herpes",
which is a herpes skin disease caused by a virus. It often occurs in the course
of fever and other fever diseases. Men, women, and children can occur in all
seasons. A simple rash develops in a round-like development, with red rice
dumplings with large rice or high grain size, pain and ulceration, and
blisters.
Treatment is mainly symptomatic and to avoid secondary
infections. Topical application is 2% gentian violet solution, 0.5% neomycin
ointment, etc. Only when you pay attention to exercise, improve your immunity,
and stop the outbreak of herpes virus is the only way to cure herpes simplex.
Is herpes simplex transmitted?
To understand herpes simplex, it is natural to know whether
it is contagious.
Is herpes simplex transmitted? What aspects of life should you pay attention to to prevent herpes simplex?
Herpes simplex is an acute herpes dermatosis caused by the
herpes simplex virus. Humans are the only natural host for herpes simplex
virus. The virus exists in the blister fluid, saliva and feces of patients,
restorers, or healthy carriers.
The main method is direct contact infection,
and it can also be transmitted indirectly through tableware contaminated with
saliva.
There are three things to note about preventing herpes simplex:
1. Keep the skin clean and take a bath every day. In hot
weather, you can wash 2-3 times a day. Dress appropriately and don't sweat too
much.
2. to protect the skin from damage, clothes, and bedding
should be soft. Cut your nails frequently to avoid scratching the cuticle.
3. Avoid contact with people with skin infections. Wash your
hands frequently.
