The Herpesviruses
• All members show latency and cause recurrent infection– more severe with advancing age, cancer chemotherapy, or
other conditions that compromise the immune defenses• Large enveloped icosahedral dsDNA• Replicates within nucleus
Herpesviridae
• large Family; 8 infect humans– HSV-1– HSV-2– VZV – CMV– EBV– HHV-6– HHV-7– HHV-8
Epidemiology of Herpes Simplex
Viruses • Transmission
– direct exposure to secretions containing the virus
– active lesions most significant source
– genital herpes can be transmitted in the absence of lesions
• HSV multiplies in sensory neurons, moves to ganglia– HSV-1 enters 5th cranial
nerve– HSV-2 enters lumbosacral
spinal nerve trunk ganglia
Epidemiology of Herpes Simplex Viruses
• Recurrent infection triggered by various stimuli – fever, UV radiation,
stress, mechanical injury
• Newly formed viruses migrate to body surface– produce a local skin or
membrane lesion
Type 1 Herpes Simplex (HSV – 1)
• Herpes labialis – fever blisters, cold sores– most common recurrent HSV-1
infection– vesicles occur on mucocutaneous
junction of lips or adjacent skin– itching and tingling prior to
vesicle formation– lesion crusts over in 2-3 days and
heals• Herpetic gingivostomatitis
– infection of oropharynx in young children
– fever, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes
• Herpetic keratitis – ocular herpes
Type 2 Herpes Simplex (HSV – 2)
• Genital herpes – herpes genitalia – starts with malaise, anorexia,
fever, and bilateral swelling and tenderness in the groin
– clusters of sensitive vesicles on the genitalia, perineum, and buttocks
– urethritis, painful urination
• Recurrent bouts usually less severe– triggered by menstruation,
stress, and concurrent bacterial infection
Herpes of the Newborn
• HSV-1 and HSV-2• Potentially fatal in the
neonate and fetus• Infant contaminated by
mother before or during birth
• hand transmission by mother to infant
• Infection of mouth, skin, eyes, CNS
• Preventative screening of pregnant women– delivery by C-section if
outbreak at the time of birth
Diagnosis, Treatment, and Control
• Vesicles and exudate are typical diagnostic symptoms
• scrapings from base of lesions showing giant cells– culture and specific tests for diagnosing severe or
disseminated HSV
• direct fluorescent antibody tests• Treatment
– acyclovir, famciclovir, valacyclovir; topical medications
Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV)
• virus enters neurons & remains latent• later reactivation of the virus results in
shingles with vesicles localized to distinctive areas– dermatomes
• treatment – acyclovir, famciclovir, interferon
• live attenuated vaccine
Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)
• HSV-4• infects lymphoid tissue & salivary glands• transmission
– direct oral contact & contamination with saliva
• by mid-life 90-95% of all people are infected • causes mononucleosis
– sore throat, high fever, cervical lymphadenopathy
• Complications include:– heart defects– facial paralysis– rupture of the spleen– jaundice (hepatitis)
Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)
• 30-50 day incubation• most cases
asymptomatic• Burkitt’s lymphoma
– associated with chronic co-infections with malaria
• nasopharyngeal carcinoma in Chinese & African men
Human Herpes Virus 6
• HHV-6• T-lymphotropic virus• transmitted by close
contact• very common • causes roseola
– an acute febrile disease in babies 2-12 months
• can cause encephalitis, cancer
Human Herpes Virus 6
• begins with fever, followed by a faint maculopapular rash
• usually self-limited• adults may get mono-like symptoms,
lymphadenopathy, hepatitis• over 70% of MS patients show signs
of infection
Diseases of the Skin Caused by Herpesviruses
HEPATITIS B VIRUS:
HEPATITIS B VIRUS:
HBV SPREAD MAINLY BY PARENTERAL
ROUTE• DIRECT PERCUTANEOUS INOCULATION
OF INFECTED SERUM OR PLASMA• INDIRECTLY THROUGH CUTS OR
ABRASIONS• ABSORPTION THROUGH MUCOSAL
SURFACES• ABSORPTION OF OTHER INFECTIOUS
SECRETIONS (SALIVA OR SEMEN DURING SEX)
HBV SPREAD MAINLY BY PARENTERAL ROUTE• POSSIBLE TRANSFER VIA INANIMATE
ENVIRONMENTAL SURFACES• VERTICAL TRANSMISSION SOON
AFTER CHILDBIRTH (TRANSPLACENTAL TRANSFER RARE)
• CLOSE, INTIMATE CONTACT WITH AN INFECTED PERSON
WHO IS AT GREATEST RISK FOR HBV INFECTION?
• LAB PERSONNEL WORKING WITH BLOOD PRODUCTS
• SEXUALLY ACTIVE HOMOSEXUALS
• PERSONS WITH MULTIPLE AND FREQUENT SEX CONTACTS
• MEDICAL/DENTAL PERSONNEL
