Microbiology
- A family of double-stranded DNA viruses that cause disease in humans
- The human herpesviruses are further subdivided into three subfamilies
- Alphaherpesvirinae: dormant in neurons
- HHV-1: HSV-1
- HHV-2: HSV-2
- HHV-3: VZV
- Also remember Macacine alphaherpesvirus 1
- Betaherpesvirinae
- HHV-5: CMV
- HHV-6 and HHV-7: roseolaviruses
- Gammaherpesvirinae: associated with malignancy
- HHV-4: EBV
- HHV-8: Kaposi sarcoma–associated herpesvirus
- Alphaherpesvirinae: dormant in neurons
Management
- Typically respond to antivirals, including acyclovir, valacyclovir, ganciclovir, valganciclovir, and foscarnet
