Herpesviruses

M Bowers. BETA. 1995 Dec.

Abstract

AIDS: The signs, symptoms, diagnoses, and treatment of human herpesviruses are discussed, including advances and refinements in treatment options. Various treatment drugs, such as Zovirax, Famvir, Cidofovir, Foscarnet, Valtrex, and Virend, are examined. Genital herpes vaccines and possible alternative therapies are reviewed. In particular, varicella zoster virus, the virus that produces chicken pox and shingles, is examined, including its signs, symptoms, and intervention strategies using famciclovir and sorivudine. Final comments discuss the Epstein-Barr virus, the cause of mononucleosis, the newly discovered human herpesviruses, and the future prospects for identifying and appropriately treating herpesviruses.
