  • Title: [Inactivated herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 divaccine as an agent for effective immunoprophylaxis of recurrent genital herpes].
    Author: Barinskiĭ IF, Makhmudov FR.
    Journal: Vopr Virusol; 2010; 55(1):35-40. PubMed ID: 20364670.
    Abstract:
    Prevention of recurrent genital herpes with the inactivated herpetic divaccine Vitaherpavac against herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 has a number of advantages over the most commonly used symptomatic therapy: it ceases or significantly reduces the number of recurrences and accordingly prolongs a relapse-free interval, abolishes viremia and the manifestations of clinical symptoms of recurrences, induces no dependence to the vaccine. Coadministration of the Vitaherpavac vaccine and the immunomodulator Giaferon has been shown to have some advantage over vaccination only. The new formulation of the agent as suppositories (per rectum) not only enhances the immunogenicity and protective properties of the vaccine, but also reduces the frequency of its application and makes more convenient for patients to use.
