Reduction of HIV-1 RNA levels with therapy to suppress herpes simplex virus. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Epidemiologic data suggest that infection with herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is associated with increased genital shedding of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA and HIV-1 transmissibility. METHODS: We conducted a randomized,

Herpes Simplex Virus Infection Mimicking Bullous Disease in an Immunocompromised Patient
Immunodeficient patients are at risk of developing extended or atypical herpes simplex virus infections, which can be easily misdiagnosed. We present the case of a 79-year-old, treatment-induced (oral corticosteroid), immunocompromised female with an ...

Genetics of Herpes Simplex Virus.
The most direct approach to elucidating the roles of herpes simplex virus (HSV) proteins in the viral replicative cycle has been to isolate temperature-sensitive, cytolysis-resistant, and drug-resistant mutants that exhibit alterations in the synthesis or activity of these proteins.

An investigation of herpes simplex virus promoter activity compatible with latency establishment reveals VP16-independent activation of immediate-early promoters in sensory neurones [PDF]
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) type-1 establishes lifelong latency in sensory neurones and it is widely assumed that latency is the consequence of a failure to initiate virus immediate-early (IE) gene expression. However, using a Ore reporter mouse system in
