Herpes-Simplex: Type 2
Herpes is a name that is used to describe several types of skin eruptions that are characterized by formation of blisters. The term embraces primarily two distinct disorders, herpes simplex and herpes zoster, both caused by viruses. Together, these "herpes" viruses are estimated to cause more human illnesses than any other group of viruses.
Two types of herpes simplex are known. The first causes cold sores or fever blisters, which is an eruption of blisters that often occurs during the course of or after one of a variety of diseases that eventually cause fever
(most commonly average colds, the flu, and pneumonia). The blisters usually appear around the mouth and on the lips (herpes labialis), about the nose, face, and ears, and in the mouth and pharynx. The causative virus has been shown to be present in the cell bodies of the facial nerve in persons who do not have blisters. It is this reservoir of latent virus that is the source of repeated attacks. Except for lotions to relieve pain, itching, or inflammation, no established treatmemt has actually been developed.
The second type of the herpes simplex virus, however, is the usual cause of genital herpes. Herpes infections of the genital area have become increasingly common, going along with a rise in general of many sexually transmitted diseases. Sometimes accompanied by headache and fever, the condition usually begins with a mild itching, followed by the development of clusters of blisters that break and crust to form scabs that eventually dry up. The process may last one to three weeks. In many cases new clusters of blisters appear as others heal. When a baby is born to a woman who has active genital herpes lesions, the infant is at high risk of contracting an infection that is often fatal, so these women usually have their babies delivered by a cesarian section.
Primary cases of genital herpes can be treated by a drug called acyclovir, which was approved in 1982 and in another form, that is to be taken orally rather than used in an ointment form, in 1984. It also has been proving useful against recurrent attacks.
The virus can also invade the central nervous system, or CNS, especially in people who are weakened by other diseases, such as cancer, causing a severe case of encephalitis.
HZ patients typically present with a characteristic, distinguishing unilateral, localized, vesicular eruption in dermatome distribution, that is often followed by an intensive localized prodromal pain. In rare instances, it is acco...

If my friend came to me with this kind of problem for advise the first thing I would do as a student going into the health care feild, is to educate him of type 2 herpes virus and how he got it. To fully understand type 2 herpes, he will first need to understand what type 1 herpes is. Type 1 herpes is transmitted through oral secrections or getting in contact with the skin of someone who has it. It can cause sore and fever blisters around the mouth and lips. Type 1 herpes is also known as oral herpes. Type 2 herpes on the other hand cause sores around the genital areas and below the waist. it is contracted and transimitted during sex, so it means that my friend either got it from his fanciec or he got it from a previous relationship, worse case seneriol one of them cheated or is cheating on the other.
they don’t understand that type-1 herpes starts around the lips and the mouth. This still leaves them at the risk of getting the herpes virus, which leads to type-2 herpes virus also known as genital herpes.
Herpes occurs in two types, the non-genital herpes simplex 1 (HSV1) and herpes simplex 2 (HSV2). Both the strains are severely contagious and can be transmitted by means of lovemaking exposure or orally even when there are no hints of the condition. The herpes virus is not curable, but treatable. Recognizing herpes simplex virus earlier is key point to prevent transmitting the infection. There are some kind of simple ways you can learn the signs and symptoms of a herpes virus infection in yourself and in other people.

Herpes Simplex Virus is a highly contagious infection that is very common all over the world. HSV is commonly known has herpes and comes in two different forms, HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-1, also known as oral herpes, mainly spreads by mouth to mouth contact, which causes infections around the mouth and leads to painful sores. HSV-2, or genital herpes, is transmitted sexually. This causes infections in the genital or anal area. Although HSV-1 is frequently known for causing oral infections, it can also be transmitted to the genital area through oral sex. Majority of HSV-1 infections are acquired during childhood and although no symptoms may occur, the infection is lifelong. An estimated 3.7 billion people under age 50 have HSV-1 infection globally
Bell’s palsy is a paralysis or weakness of the muscles on one side of your face. It results from damage to the nerve that controls movement of the muscles in the face, the damage may also affect your sense of taste and how you make tears and saliva.

Palsy simply means weakness or paralysis,
Mononucleosis, also called "mono,” or the kissing virus. Mononucleosis is a virus that is spread usually through teens and young adults from kissing. Mono is caused by the Epstein –Barr virus (EBV). Teen who have mono mostly goes unnoticed because the symptoms are mild. Mononucleosis can be spread from person to person through tears and from mucus in the throat and nose. It can also be contracted from sharing drinks, off of spoon and forks and sharing a tooth brush, also saliva. That is why it is given the name the” kissing disease.”
In today’s world, the incidence rate of infectious diseases is declining rapidly. The leading cause of mortality and morbidity are non-infectious diseases, but there still remains a challenge to our society with some of the infectious diseases. Among them Herpes Zoster is one.
There are a number of viruses that effect the human population. Herpes is one of these viruses that are quite common throughout the world. Herpes is highly contagious infection cause by two types of viruses. These two types of viruses are known as HSV- type 1 and HSV- type 2.
Outbreaks or symptoms usually occur between three and five days however, sometimes outbreaks can show up months or even years after contact. Infected individuals usually have about four outbreaks a year for the first few years, then the number of outbreaks goes down. Usually the outbreaks happen near where the virus entered the body. Everyone does not always have the same outbreak symptoms and the outbreaks can come and go over time. Different contributors can bring on outbreaks. Stress, hormones, trauma, immunosuppression or illness are some of the contributing factors. Herpes outbreaks begin at the area of exposure, with an itching and burning sensation. Later, as the symptoms progress, watery blisters form, then later become open sores. Outbreaks can cause sores on or near lips, genitals, rectal area, buttocks or thighs. General symptoms can include small red bumps, swollen glands, muscle aches, headaches, genital discharge or pain when urinating. The first twentyfour hours are critical after contracting the virus and the quicker a medical regiment is in place the better the overall outcome. Medicine can calm the symptoms however, the virus will never leave the body. A blood test can be administered to determine if the virus is in the
On the Monday October 27th, 2014, for the first time in 4 years I did not wake up at 5:30 in the morning, I was not putting on a green skivvy shirt and shorts. There was no formation, no one that was higher command I had to report to, telling me where I had to go, what time I had to eat breakfast, what was I doing this day or what our platoon plans were for the day. There were no PT (physical training) I had to do this morning. Instead, I woke up grab a regular t-shirt, khaki shorts, and my two sea bags full of clothing and gear that I collected during my time in the Marine Corps. I threw everything in my vehicle and drove from Camp Pendleton, California to Quincy, Illinois. Within two weeks I was accepted to Southern Illinois University Carbondale. For three days, I stayed at the
