Anti-Herpes Simplex II [Clone HP82.5] - 1 mg

Herpes simplex viruses are ubiquitous, host-adapted pathogens that cause a wide variety of infections. Two types exist: herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2) . Both are closely related but differ in epidemiology. HSV-1 is traditionally associated with orofacial disease, while HSV-2 is traditionally associated with genital disease. Up to 80% of herpes simplex infections are asymptomatic. Symptomatic infections can be characterized by significant morbidity and recurrence. In immunocompromised hosts, infections can cause life-threatening complications.
