  • Title: [Herpes virus infections in immunosuppressed patients. Herpes simplex and varicella zoster virus: prevention and therapy].
    Author: Mertens T.
    Journal: Fortschr Med; 1989 Aug 30; 107(25):537-40. PubMed ID: 2553562.
    Abstract:
    Herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) giving rise to primary or recurrent infections still threaten immunocompromised patients. However, such prophylactic measures as passive and active immunisation against VZV infection, and antiviral chemoprophylaxis and chemotherapy of HSV- and VZV-infections have improved the prognosis of these patients considerably.
