单纯疱疹病毒(HSV)生殖器感染呈增加趋势,发达国家尤其如此。最近尽管用acyclovir[9-2(2-羟乙氧甲基)鸟嘌吟]治疗,可以减少病毒的产生和缓解症状;但不能防止潜伏感染,病毒激活仍可发生。由于潜伏病毒可被激活,于是潜伏感染就成了生殖器疱疹的主要发病原因,也是治疗的主要障碍。 Herpes simplex virus (HSV) genital infections are on the rise, especially in developed countries. Although the recent treatment with acyclovir [9-2 (2-hydroxyethoxymethyl) guanine] can reduce the production and alleviate the symptoms of the virus; but can not prevent latent infection, virus activation can still occur. As latent virus can be activated, so latent infection has become the main cause of genital herpes, but also a major obstacle to treatment.
