They are mainly seen in infants with low immune function or children with severe malnutrition or other infections. It is rare in adults. After the primary infection subsided, the virus continued to live in the body. More than half of the normal people are carriers of the virus, which can become the source of infection through oral and nasal secretions. Because HSV does not produce permanent immunity in the human body, whenever the body's resistance to disease decreases, such as suffering from some febrile infectious disease, gastrointestinal dysfunction, menstruation, pregnancy, focus infection, excessive fatigue, emotional environment changes, the latent HSV in the body will be stimulated And then they get sick.
