Abstract

Herpes simplex is an enveloped DNA virus able to cause both acute and recurrent diseases in man. There are two types, namely HSV-1 and HSV-2, but the latter is most often associated with genital lesions. The frequency of isolation of HSV-2 from genital episodes varies between investigators and may range from over 90% to as low as 60% 1. It is evident, therefore, that HSV-1 is also a major aetiological agent in genital herpes infections and both types will be considered in this chapter.
