Herpes infection in adults symptoms

Herpes can be called the most common disease in the world, which is the causative agent the herpes simplex virus. The present study shows that the symptom of herpes is manifested in varying degrees in 90% of the population. The studies were conducted in Europe and America, to adulthood, 90% of inhabitants of large cities once in my life infect before the virus 1 or type 2.

General information

Herpetic infection is characterized by the fact that while in the body for a long time it does not manifest itself. In case of serious weakening of the immune system herpes will begin to reiterate. The first serious symptoms include the appearance of small painful blisters that form on the skin, eyes, lips or genitals.

Unpleasant pimples on the edges of the lips, which after some time covered with a crust, is familiar to almost all people. Knowing how this disease allows us to develop effective treatment method.

The results of these studies determine the following information:

1. Occurs herpes infection in women aged 20-35 years are more likely than other groups of people. It should be noted that 100 000 population of this age have at least 135 cases of genital herpes.
2. In Europe, among diseases that can be transmitted from person to person sexually transmitted, infectious herpes ranks second. Trichomoniasis is transmitted more often than before.
3. In the United States diagnosed each year 20 000 people.

Also conducted statistics indicates that infection in adolescents aged 13-14 years is 75%, the figure for 35 years increases to 90%.

How is the infection?

To avoid considering the disease is easier to treat. The source of the virus, in most cases, becomes a sick man. The virus is in an active or passive phase of transmitted cells located on the epithelium of the mucous membrane. During contact the virus HSV-2 can be transmitted by sexual contact, HSV-1, with onlinegeneral or sexual contact. The cells of the virus passes through the epithelium of the mucous membrane and damaged skin.

Herpes virus infection stays in the nerve cells. Through sensitive nerve plexus, the virus is transmitted in the nerve ganglia. However, this location determines the latent period, the disease may not manifest itself for a long period of time.

Reproduction of infection in the patient

Once the virus has entered the body, it begins to develop gradually. The division is in the affected cell. After introduction into the cell infection using its internal resources as building material. In addition, under the synthesizing system of each cell. As a result, the cells themselves begin to create substances that lead to the reproduction of the infection, the disease significantly progresses at a strong weakening of the immune system. This is due to the fact that the body cannot prevent the rebuilding of the affected cells.

After about 2 hours the formation of new viral cells, and after 8 hours the number reaches record high. High rate of infection observed in the cells of the mucous membrane and epithelium, but also in the lymph tissues and blood.

Transmission of viral cells

Herpes infection in adults is observed very often. This is due to the large spread of the virus, and also the fact that there are several ways of transmission:

1. Direct contact. Even with the usual handshake is the probability that cells will be transmitted from a sick to a healthy person. Do not forget about the sexual way of transmission, which is associated with more acute forms of the disease.
2. Airborne. If contact mode of transmission of the virus it enters the body only when the tissue damage that occurs rarely, when airborne method of transmission cells penetrates pretty quickly.
3. Household items and hygiene also become a transfer method.
4. We can not exclude the heredity. The disease can be transmittedrising through childbirth and by contact.

The above points should be considered when preparing treatment. It should be noted the point that if you have a herpes infection treatment should happen pretty quickly, since it allows to exclude the possibility of the development of symptoms throughout the body.

The classification of the disease

The accepted norms in the international classification determine that there are two main types of viruses: recurrent and primary genital herpes. While genital is divided into:

1. Typical.
2. Atypical.
3. Asymptomatic.

   

The clinical form of the disease may be different, based on the symptomatology was held on the above classification.

The term "genital herpes" not known to many, it originated in the early 20th century. It was used to denote a lesion on the skin and mucosa of the external genitalia. After considering the disease was carefully investigated and introduced a new classification of atypical form of the disease. It was used to refer to chronic inflammatory process of internal genitals. In some cases, the symptoms almost do not appear.

There is Herpetic Center, whose research dealing with this disease. Recently research has become more complicated due to the fact that in 65% of cases the disease is atypical.

How long can the virus live in the body?

In many cases, the diagnosis of herpes infection and treatment is carried out at home, because the symptoms do not cause a lot of discomfort. Infectious virions appear within an infected cell in 10 hours. You should consider the following points:

1. The original virus particle can play from 10 to 100 children.
2. Herpes bladder with a volume of 1 ml can have from 1000 to 10 million viral particles. This should be taken into account due to the fact that if these cells get out, they will have to infiltrate the damaged cells.
3. Some viruses can not tolerate high temperatures, however, do not consider. The present study shows that when exposed to a temperature of 37.5 degrees Celsius to survive a viral cage for 20 hours. When exposed to temperatures from 50 to 70 degrees Celsius, the cells can withstand for 20 minutes.
4. Metal virus cells can survive for at least 2 hours in the tree for about 3 hours, the gauze, cotton and other materials at room temperature viral cells survive for 6 hours.
5. All known forms of pathogens considered of the disease may recur. In this case, the activator may be a lot of stress, endocrine disorders, with a significant change in daily living conditions with strong solar irradiation and many other situation.
6. Relapse is asymptomatic when hormonal therapy as well as treatment, which provided for strengthening of immunity.

You should consider the point that recurrent disease is only 8-20% of carriers of the virus, and then only when significant damage immunity.

Herpesvirus cells is capable of infection of the fetus during pregnancy. This is due to the fact that pregnancy for a woman's body is a complex physiological process, which greatly reduces the immune system. Often excitatory cell is transmitted sexually. Chronic herpes infection can stay in the body for a long period, causing the manifestation of certain symptoms. To ensure that the child has not received the causative agent is recommended when planning a pregnancy, undergoing tests for detection of various viral infections, including reporting. If an insufficient number of antibodies, as well as a significant weakening of the immune system in General, doctor prescribes preventive treatment.

What disease causes considered a virus and what organs affect?

Depending on which way the body fell to the considered pathogen may defeat the following systems and organs of the human body, and also occur following disease:

1. Is the lesion is in the optic tract. Examples would include keratitis, iridocyclitis diseases, arising due to penetration of the pathogen of herpes.
2. ENT organs are also affected.
3. The mouth are often suffering from herpes. Thus the cases do not suspect that cause gingivitis or stomatitis is in contact with the herpes virus in the mouth.
4. Mucosa and skin: face, lips. Many people associate herpes with the advent of the blisters on lips. Note that this is a manifestation of the virus one of the smallest.
5. The lungs are affected very rarely, but still possible to meet the development of bronchopneumonia.
6. GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT.
7. Cardiovascular system.
8. Female and male sex organs.

In some cases, delayed treatment leads to complications. Some complications of herpetic infections may lead toserious threat to health and human life.

Ill have to remember that the pathogen is very contagious. When a dangerous virus is not only for others, but the sick. For example, with a hearth on the lips can transfer the pathogen to the genitals in the mouth. As previously noted, the division of viral cells takes place with great intensity. Therefore, there are certain rules that need to be taken into account:

1. You can't touch the lips that was covered with bubbles. Do not think that the integrity of the bubble allows to exclude the possibility of infection. If, however, the contact was, then it is good to wash your hands in warm water with antiseptic.
2. In case you only want to use his utensils and towel. All who live in the same house and the apartment should not be in contact with personal belongings of the sick.
3. In the case of lesions of the lips should not be squeezing the bubbles and tearing of the crust. Such actions cause additional infection of the surrounding skin.
4. During the course of disease should be excluded oral-genital contact. Kiss also leads to the spread of the pathogen.
5. In the case of use of contact lenses use only especially the wet.
6. Cream that is aimed at combating the virus should be applied as a special sticks, not your hands.

The above recommendations should be taken into account in order to eliminate the possibility of the spread of the disease to other organs or areas of the skin and also to eliminate the possibility of transmission to healthy people.

Prevention

It is usually easier to prevent the infected cells than to carry out the treatment of already developing disease. That is why we developed preventive measures, primarily consists of pharmacological intervention and development of a special diet to strengthen the immune system. It is worth considering the point that without proper sleep and rest, frequent stressful situation, the body is more vulnerable to environmental influences. The moment when starts the epidemic of SARS and influenza also revealed a greater number of postponements herpes virus, as the impact of other diseases significantly reduces the immune system. At the time of the epidemic should be less to stay in crowded places, to follow the recommendations on hygiene. For the manifestation of the herpes should undergo screening for other infections, since pronounced symptoms indicate a significant weakening of the immune system.

Symptomatology

Knowledge of symptoms helps to hold the treatment at the time the inactive phase. The defeat of the lips occurs when a person is infected with HSV-1. With similar symptoms many face in early childhood when using shared Cutlery. There is also the possibility of transfer of the pathogen is airborne, for example, by sneezing or coughing. It is important to consider the point that in 80% of cases the virus is in inactive form and does not manifest itself.

Another symptom can be called the appearance of lesions. 20% HSV-1 actively replicates that doctors call a recurrence.

For many months or even years cells of the pathogen may be in an inactive form. Some factors can trigger a relapse. Such factors include:

1. Severe hypothermia body.
2. Long lasting stress.
3. Injury.
4. Only exhaustion.
5. Colds, flu, and all viral and bacterial infections.
6. Hormonal changes in the body.
7. Diet, leading to exhaustion.
8. When unhealthy fascination with the sun.

The mucous membrane of the nose and lips are the main areas of the symptoms. However, there is a certain group of people, for example AIDS patients, cancer problems, which can cause damage internal organs. Herpes infection has symptoms depending on which organ of the body was affected.

As a treatment?

When considering treatment is applied it should be noted the fact that have not yet been created that can completely destroy the virus consider in the human body. This is due to its resistance to high temperature and other effects. Often treatment is aimed at preventing the reproduction of viral cells, and reducing symptoms.

If the development of the disease the infestation has been the face and lips, high efficiency have a special ointment creams that have a local impact. Only in severe forms doctor's recommendation may be associated with pills.

As in many other cases of infectious disease only with early diagnosing and treatment, you can expect success. An example is the fact that before the appearance of vesicles on the lips, they begin to be very sensitive and itchy, tingling, feeling of pressure or seal in a certain place. If you start immediate treatment at this stage, the rash may not appear, and full recovery will occur for the shortest possible time.

In conclusion the point that there are a huge number of folk remedies that allow to fight the rash on the face. However, it is worth considering that the people who are at risk due tothe presence of other infections, should definitely visit the doctor.
