Will herpes virus encephalitis recur after treatment

summary

Many people may not know much about herpesvirus encephalitis, and some people may not even have heard of it, so we still need to know more about it. Let's talk about the recurrence of herpesvirus encephalitis after treatment.

Will herpes virus encephalitis recur after treatment

First: herpesvirus encephalitis, also known as herpes simplex encephalitis, can be seen in both primary herpes simplex virus infection and recurrent patients. The disease is sporadic, and it is the most common type of non epidemic viral encephalitis. According to statistics, it accounts for about 10% - 20% of viral encephalitis. The disease is serious and the prognosis is poor.

Second: the acute phase patients and chronic carriers are the source of infection. In general population, 5% of adults are asymptomatic carriers. Herpes simplex virus exists in the herpes fluid, the secretion of lesion site, saliva and feces of infected persons. It can also be detected from the semen of patients with no obvious lesion of external genitalia.

Third: the occurrence of the disease is mostly sporadic or the recurrence of the original latent virus infection. Studies have shown that the infection rate of HSV is higher in the areas with low economic level and crowded living conditions; those with poor immune function caused by malnutrition or other reasons are more likely to suffer from HSV infection.

matters needing attention

So, herpesvirus encephalitis is an infectious disease, so if you don't pay attention to it after treatment, there is a great possibility of recurrence. Patients must pay attention to stay away from the source of infection in their daily life, and don't let themselves have the risk of contacting the virus again.
