    Author: Boralevi F, Geniaux M.
    Journal: Rev Prat; 1996 Oct 15; 46(16):1952-60. PubMed ID: 9005519.
    Abstract:
    Herpes is the first cause of genital ulcers, recurrences are unpredictable and asymptomatic viral excretion is frequent. Herpes simplex virus 2 is responsible for genital infection in 80% of cases, but the incidence of Herpes simplex virus 1 is rising. New diagnostics methods are developing, batcellular viral culture remains gold standard. Oral aciclovir is the standard treatment, and directions for use are strictly codified. In pregnant women a new preventing project is proposed, it does not prevent transmission during asymptomatic viral excretion. In immunocompromise patients Herpes is frequent severe and sometimes aciclovir resistant.
