Quote:THE DISEASE
Over 80 known viruses exist within the Herpes family. Of these, 8 are known to cause disease in humans, the most common being Herpes simplex virus 1 and 2. HSV-1 and HSV-2 look identical under the microscope, and either type can infect the mouth or genitals. Usually, however, HSV-1 occurs above the waist, and HSV-2 below the waist:
HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUSES
Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) - commonly causes herpes labialis (also called oral herpes, cold sores or fever blisters), which are highly infectious open sores that crust over before healing. Although less probable, HSV-1 can also cause genital herpes.
Herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) - a contagious viral infection primarily causing genital herpes in men and women. The telltale signs and symptoms of genital herpes include recurrent clusters of blisters, bumps and rashes in the genital areas. HSV-2 can also be responsible for herpes labialis, although less often than HSV-1.
In addition to cold sores and genital herpes, HSV-1 and HSV-2 can cause other diseases:
herpes simplex encephalitis, a rare but potentially fatal herpetic infection of the brain
neonatal herpes - a rare but potentially severe HSV infection in a newborn; neonatal herpes results from transmission of the virus from the mother to the baby during delivery
herpetic whitlow - an HSV infection of the finger, acquired either from transfer of the infection from another part of the body or from direct contact with another party having an HSV infection; herpetic whitlow most commonly affects healthcare workers
herpes keratitis - an HSV infection of the eye; herpes keratitis is one of the most common causes of blindness
herpes gladiatorum - an HSV infection, usually of the skin, acquired during wrestling; the skin can become abraded, or scraped, during a wrestling match, allowing a herpes virus to enter the body and establish an infection
