    Author: Benson PM, Malane SL, Banks R, Hicks CB, Hilliard J.
    Journal: Arch Dermatol; 1989 Sep; 125(9):1247-8. PubMed ID: 2549884.
    Abstract:
    B virus (Herpesvirus simiae) infections in macaque colonies are common. Herpetiform lesions as well as asymptomatic shedding of virus in bodily secretions from macaques pose a risk to animal handlers and laboratory workers. Fatal encephalitis in humans infected with B virus has occurred. Dermatologists may become involved in the initial evaluation of animal handlers exposed to this virus through bites or infectious secretions.
