Two Cases of Herpes Gladiatorum Identified in a Korean Middle-School Wrestling Team: A Case Report
J Korean Med Sci. 2023 Sep 11;38(36):e288. doi: 10.3346/jkms.2023.38.e288.ABSTRACTHerpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection is very common worldwide, with an estimate of up to two-thirds of the population aged < 50 years infected with HSV-1. Herpes gladiatorum is a skin infection caused by HSV-1, which affects wrestlers and other athletes in close-contact sports. We aimed to report two cases of herpes gladiatorum that were previously unreported in Korea. Notably, two 15-year-old boys who were on the same middle-school wrestling team were admitted sequentially because of vesicles predominant on the right side of thei...

The Diagnosis and Management of Herpes Simplex Pneumonia in the Critical Care Setting: A Comprehensive Review
Cureus. 2023 Aug 9;15(8):e43224. doi: 10.7759/cureus.43224. eCollection 2023 Aug.ABSTRACTHerpes simplex virus (HSV) belongs to the Herpesviridae family and is divided into two subtypes: HSV-1 and HSV-2. It is known that herpesviruses lie dormant in neural ganglion cells and are reactivated during times of stress, trauma, fever, and immunosuppression. While HSV primarily causes mucosal infections such as cold sores or upper respiratory tract manifestations, it can also lead to serious, life-threatening infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Although HSV is occasionally detected in airway samples from critic...

Therapeutic effect of intravenous acyclovir in children with infectious mononucleosis and immune function
CONCLUSION: In the treatment of IM, intravenous acyclovir can substantially improve the overall clinical response rate for patients, with less adverse reactions, and can greatly alleviate various clinical symptoms and signs including fever, isthmitis, cervical lymph node enlargement, and hepatosplenomegaly, with obvious regulating effects on the immune function, so it is worth popularizing and applying in clinical practice.PMID:37692931 | PMC:PMC10492057 (Source: American Journal of Translational Research)
