We know that a kiss is a form of expression of feelings and true affection. However, this time called kiss kiss of death because it makes a new baby is born to die.

Stories experienced by married couples named Carl MacLaren and Marrie Claire McCormick-this is actually a chance and lack of knowledge on the handling of the baby. Kaiden McCormick, the premature baby to die because of organ failure caused by a herpes virus. Newborns can be infected why herpes virus?

This sad story began from Carl, Kaiden's father who planted a kiss on her newborn baby. Without realizing it, Carl was having a sore throat which is many times the baby kissing with pleasure. Due to poor immune systems, viral sore throats Carl moved to the baby. And he had to be about 6 weeks with auxiliary engine breathing. In medical treatment, the doctor said that the baby's tiny herpes simplex virus. Of course his parents in shock at the news, because they are careful enough and the baby is almost impossible to get infected.

Having sought the cause, apparently doctors discovered a sad fact that Carl was the one who transmitted viral sore throat which then makes the baby exposed to herpes. Carl felt very discouraged and repeatedly blames herself for the incident unintentional. He had no idea where the kiss unfortunately turned out to be the kiss of death that killed his son.

Shingles (Herpes Zoster)

Shingles (Herpes Zoster)

Definition and Causes of Shingles disease

Many ask what exactly it is Shingles? , Okay Shingles is a rash on the skin (mange) caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox (chickenpox). The virus responsible for these conditions is called the Varicella zoster virus (VZV). After an individual has chickenpox, this virus lives in the nervous system and is never fully cleared from the body. Under certain circumstances, such as emotional stress, immune deficiency (from AIDS or chemotherapy), or with cancer, the virus reactivates to cause shingles. In many cases, however, a cause for the reactivation of the virus is never found. Anyone who has had chickenpox is at risk for developing shingles, although it occurs most commonly in people over the age of 60 years. It has been estimated that up to 500,000 cases of shingles occur each year in the United States. The herpes virus that causes shingles and chickenpox is not the same as the herpes virus that causes genital herpes (which can be sexually transmitted) and herpes mouth sores. Shingles is medically termed Herpes zoster.

Is shingles contagious?

Yes, it's true, shingles contagious. Shingles can be spread from person manta pasient chickenpox which will be transmitted to children or adults who have never had chickenpox. But instead of developing shingles virus place, these people develop chickenpox. Once they've got the chickenpox, people can not get shingles (or acquire the virus) from someone else. Once infected, however, people have the potential to develop shingles later in life. Shingles is contagious to people who have not previously had chickenpox, as long as there are blisters (blisters) newly formed and old blisters heal. Once all the blisters have crusted, the virus can no longer spread.

Shingles symptoms and duration

Before a rash is visible, the patient may notice several days to a week of burning pain and sensitive skin. Before the rash is visible, it may be difficult to determine the cause of the often severe pain. Shingles start as small blisters on a red base, with new blisters continuing to form for three to five days. Blisters follow the path of individual nerves that exit the spinal cord (spinal cord) called a dermatomal pattern. The entire path of the nerve may be involved or there may be areas with blisters (blisters) and areas without blisters. Typically, only one nerve level is involved. At some rare cases, more than one nerve will be involved. Eventually, the blisters pop, and the area began issuing / flow. Affected areas will then crusted and healed. The whole process may take three to four weeks from start to finish. Sometimes, the pain will be present but the blisters (blisters) may never appear. This can be a cause of local pain is very confusing.

By because it irang people who have never had chicken pox asked to be vigilant against the disease.

HERPES SIMPLEX

                             venerealdiseaseabout.blogspot.com  -this time I will discuss about venereal disease that is herves Simplex better known as Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) is the cause of the disease which can cause skin changes in bubble-shaped bubbles (blisters) and pain, stinging, itching and heat. Changes in these symptoms can occur at the surface of the skin. Feeling sick or pain is mainly felt in the area around the mouth, and nose or genital areas and buttocks.

Infections caused by HSV is indeed very disturbing because it can occur repeatedly. Feeling sick or sore can be very painful, but the lesions are not visible or very subtle. In patients who are chronic and in newborns, the infection can be more serious but rarely fatal .

HSV Type:

1. HSV type 1.

2. HSV type 2.

HSV Virus type 1:

Can cause pain, painful but not hot. Most people get type 1 virus infection in infancy and children. They are contracted through close contact with family members or friends who suffer from this virus. The disease is transmitted through kissing, or through other cutlery and through the towel. Feeling sick and sore are common on the lips, around the mouth, nose or cheeks and occurs some time after contact. The symptoms of this disease can occur assortment of very light but can also take the patient to the health facility with stinging pains.

HSV Virus type 2:

Can cause pain and sore on the genitals. Most people with type 2 got the infection through sexual contact with an infectious patient. The disease attacks people anywhere. Existing data states that between 5 million to 20 million people or approximately 20 percent of sexually active adults in the United States suffer from the disease because the virus is spreading rapidly in the era of sex bebes.

HERPES SIMPLEX TYPE 1.

Also referred to as fever bubbles (blisters) or cold lesions. HSV type 1 is the form of fine bubbles, clear, fluid-filled blisters and his regular areas often arise in advance. Can also occur, although rarely in the genital area. HSV type 1 can occur on the skin lika area. Health workers sometimes suffer from painful lesions resembling herpes lesions after HSV entry through the skin due to scratches on his fingers.

HSV type 1 infections are of two kinds, primary and recurrent. Although nearly every person infected with the virus, but only 10% were developed further in the form of bubbles / blisters or lesions that are painful at the time of infection. Pain or pain in primary infection terminated after 7 to 10 days, and appeared after 2 to 20 days after contact with infectious patients.

Number of blisters varies, from one bubble blisters alone until the blisters are flocking. Before the bubble blisters occur, the skin feels itchy or become more sensitive. Formed bubbles can burst or rupture due to subtle nudge yourself, discharge melt and then harden to form a scab. Usually off the scab will leave redness on the skin.

Lesions in primary infection recover completely and very rarely cause scarring. However, the virus that causes the infection remains in the body. Viruses are the nerve cells in a resting state.

HSV type 1 rarely cause recurrent. In patients with recurrent lesions occurred in the same place as the primary or the surrounding events. Recurrent lesions occur every few weeks or may be more rare.

Recurrent infections tend to be milder than primary infections and can occur due to several factors such as fever, sunstroke or menstruation. However most recurrent and unpredictable factors identified originators.

HERPES SIMPLEX TYPE 2.

Infection with HSV type 2 usually cause painful lesions on the buttocks, penis, vagina or cervix that occurs 2 to 20 days after contact with infectious patients. Sex is often a way that a candidate can infect people. Primary and replay attacks cause problems such as redness or itching, lesions were very sore, fever, muscle pain and a burning sensation / burning during urination. This disease can also occur in areas other than the genitals but no higher than the waist.

As with HSV type 1, the frequency and location of recurrence of the disease varies. Initiating event can occur very light so people can not recognize that he had been infected with HSV. Several years later, after a recurrence of the patient mistakenly said that the incident as the first attack, and there will be mistakes in estimating the source of infection.

After the initial attack occurs, the virus will move into nerve cells to settle there until circumstances allow such a menstrual period, fever, physical contact, stress or other things.

Pain or not feeling on the skin can be started between one to several days before the primary and recurrent infections occur. This situation is called prodromal.

HOW TO DIAGNOSE HSV INFECTION?

Pop of HSV sanagt clear and needed no test for confirmation. However, if the diagnosis is uncertain, such as lesions on the genitals or the cervix, it is necessary examination of specimens in the laboratory. Several laboratory tests for diagnosis by looking at them under a microscope preparations, culture and blood test for antibodies. Using more than one test is needed to confirm HSV infection. Herpes in the genital area often misdiagnosed with syphilis. Small proportion of women do not know have suffered due to HSV infection occurs in the cervix which is not sensitive to pain.

HOW HERPES INFECTION TREATMENT?

Until now there is no vaccine to prevent this disease. Anti-viral drug called acyclovir or famcyclovir have been found to cope with cases of severe and recurrent infections. Low doses can help reduce the number of attacks in patients with herpes are often under attack.

HOW HSV TO PREVENT TRANSMISSION?

Between 200 thousand - 500 thousand people worldwide suffer from herpes in the genital area every year and HSV type 1 more. Prevention before and at the time of the incident it is important to avoid the disease. Arise when the tingling, burning, itching, or less good-which is a recurrent symptom-feel on the skin as you know the early signs of herpes, then avoid touching the parts with others. If no lesions around the mouth, then you should avoid kissing and the sharing utensils such as cups, spoons and lipstick. In patients with herpes in the genital area, then avoid sexual contact including oral / genital symptoms during or active lesions. Condoms can prevent sexual transmission of herpes to a friend.

SERIOUS CONDITION OTHER INFECTIONS HSV's.

Eye infections.

HSV can infect the eye and the condition is called herpes keratitis. Feel less comfortable on the eyes. It could even be accompanied by pain and sensitivity to light and discharge. Without quick treatment, scarring can occur in the eye. In the currently available drugs are effective to eliminate the severity of the infection and prevent scarring of the cornea. Any patient suspected herpes infection should be promptly referred to an eye disease.

Infection in infants.

A pregnant woman who suffers from genital herpes during labor can transmit the virus to her baby through the birth canal. If this incident is a genital herpes infection in the first time, the baby will be able to suffer a great distraction. Therefore, a pregnant woman who knew that she had suffered from herpes in the genital area, or he felt that the possibility of suffering from herpes during pregnancy should be delivered at the doctor, so that the baby will be protected.

Pregnant women are advised to avoid sexual contact with herpes denagn couples who are active in sex (especially during late pregnancy). Using condoms is recommended to couples who can not resist to have sex.

Newborns can also be exposed to herpes virus infection derived from lesions other than sex. If the mother or other health care workers have a lei bubbles on the lips or hands, the baby will be exposed to infection. Family members or other relatives should be prevented from handling a newborn.

Special handling is not required in women who have no symptoms of active, as long as the infection is not active then the baby is not at risk for contracting.

PATIENTS AND SERIOUS HSV gravity.

HSV can be life-threatening patients with cancer, patients who had organ transplants or patients with severe pain due to decreased immune power of this disease can be fatal and very serious need of treatment experienced side.

Herpes Genitalis

Herpes Genitalis Venereal Disease

Genital herpes is an infection caused by a virus genital Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) with typical symptoms in the form of vesicles are grouped on the basis of recurrent erythema and nature (source CDC Fact Sheet, 2007).

Epidemiology of genital herpes

Data in a Hospital in the U.S. suggests that the very low prevalence of genital herpes in 1992 dr.jonh that only 10 cases of 9983 patients with IMS. However, the prevalence Dr.asoam rather high at 64 out of 653 cases of STIs and higher again in the hospital maruari the 22 cases of 126 cases of STIs (Judge, 2009).

Etiology and morphology of genital herpes

Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) can be divided into 2 types by SHARLITT 1940 to HSV type 1 and HSV type 2. In serological, biological and physicochemical, they are almost indistinguishable. But according to the results of the study, HSV type 2 is the predominant type of sexually transmitted genito-genital. HSV type 1 is transmitted through it many oro-genital sexual activity or by hand (Salvaggio, 2009).

Clinical symptoms of genital herpes

Initial symptoms begin to appear on day 4-7 after infection. Early symptoms usually include itching, tingling and pain. Then will appear a small reddish spots, which is followed by a collection of small, painful blisters. These blisters burst and coalesce to form a circular wound. Wounds that are formed are usually painless and form a scab. Patients may experience pain during urination or dysuria and pain when walking will arise. Luka will improve within 10 days but can leave scars. Groin lymph nodes are usually somewhat enlarged. The initial symptom is more pain, longer and more widespread than the subsequent symptoms and may be accompanied by fever and malaise (Salvaggio, 2009).

In men, the blisters and sores may develop in any part of the penis, including the foreskin on uncircumcised penis. In women, the blisters and sores may develop on the vulva and cervix. If the patient had sexual intercourse through the anus, it may develop blisters and sores around the anus or in the rectum. In patients with immune system disorders (eg, patients with HIV infection), herpes sores can be very heavy, spread to other body parts, persist for several weeks or more and is resistant to treatment with acyclovir. The symptoms tend to recur in the same area or nearby, because the virus settled in nearby pelvic nerve and back on to re-infect the skin. HSV-2 had pengaktivan back in the pelvic nerve. HSV-1 had pengaktivan back in the facial nerves and causes fever blisters or herpes labialis. But both viruses can cause disease in both areas. Initial infection by one virus will provide partial immunity against other viruses, so the symptoms of the two viruses is not too heavy.

Examination of genital herpes

Clinical diagnosis is confirmed by the presence of symptoms typical of vesicles grouped on the basis of erythema and be recurrent. The simplest laboratory tests are tests Tzank colored with Giemsa or Wright staining which will appear multinucleated giant cells. The best way to diagnose is by tissue culture as the most sensitive and specific. However, this method requires a lot of time and expensive. Can also be carried out serological tests for HSV antigen either by imunoflouresensi, imunoperoksidase and ELISA (Aili, 2009).

Complications of genital herpes

The most feared complication is a result of the disease in newborns (Mike, 2009). Genital herpes in the first trimester of pregnancy can cause abortion or congenital malformations such as mikroensefali. In infants born to mothers with herpes found various abnormalities such as hepatitis, encephalitis, keratokonjungtifitis even stillbirth.

Herpes Zoster

People who have had chicken pox in childhood appeared to still be infected with herpes zoster in adulthood. Keeping the immune system is the key to prevent transmission.

Chickenpox and shingles are caused by the same type of virus, Varicella zoster, but its a different serotype. Both the diseases have similar clinical symptoms, beginning with fever and inflammation of the skin that appear characterized by the formation of bubbles filled with water.

According dr.Ari Fahrial, Sp.PD, specialists in internal medicine from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia, in contrast to chickenpox, herpes zoster attack only specific neural regions.

"That abnormalities or nodule-bintilnya only in certain body areas or just half of the body. While on chickenpox spread throughout the body," he explained.

Herpes zoster on areas of the body most commonly affected areas include the chest and arm, although other areas of the body can also be affected.

Besides skin rash, herpes zoster infection is also characterized by pain in the muscles and bones. The pain caused by nerve stimulation.

Unlike with chicken pox, shingles is not very contagious. But the varicella zoster virus is contagious to people who have never had chicken pox. Infected people will develop chickenpox, not shingles.

Provision of antiviral drugs will speed the healing. While the vitamin is needed to increase endurance and given an antibiotic ointment to prevent secondary infections of the skin.

Actual disease chickenpox or shingles can be prevented by vaccination. But in Indonesia, it has not been common. According to Ari, vaccination is only given in the event of an outbreak. Because it's the best way to prevent transmission is to keep the immune system as optimal as possible.
