摘要
The herpes simplex viruses HSV-1 and HSV-2 cause problems for millions of people worldwide. Infections range from simple cold sores and fever blisters to severe central nervous system disorders. Development of effective antiviral medications has made prompt recognition important in primary care practice. Appropriate therapy can significantly reduce both medical and psychosocial ramifications of herpes infections and can greatly improve the duality of life for many patients.
