Study Notes
Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV)
- HSV-1 typically causes oral lesions (above the belt)
- HSV-2 typically causes genital lesions (below the belt)
- Primary infection can manifest as gingivostomatitis (HSV1), genital herpes, herpetic whitlow, or encephalitis (HSV2)
Varicella-Zoster (Human Herpes Virus 3)
- Causes chickenpox and shingles
- Chickenpox is the primary infection
- Shingles is the reactivation of the dormant disease
- Chickenpox is common in children and usually mild
- Chickenpox is more serious if contracted as an adult
- Chickenpox has a two-week incubation period
Varicella-Zoster Symptoms
- Chickenpox symptoms include fever and rash
- Chickenpox rash starts as papules, becomes vesicular and itchy but painless
- Shingles rash is painful
- Chickenpox is not contagious once scabs have formed
Shingles
- Shingles is a reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus dormant in the dorsal root ganglia and trigeminal nerve
- Shingles can be triggered by trauma or drugs
- Shingles occurs on one (unilateral) side of the body
Ramsay Hunt Syndrome
- Ramsay Hunt Syndrome (shingles of the facial nerve), is rare
- Ramsay Hunt Syndrome symptoms include vesicular rash in the auditory canal, unilateral facial palsy, vertigo, and taste changes
Hand Foot & Mouth Disease
- Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is mainly caused by group A coxsackieviruses
- Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is highly contagious
- Hand-foot-and-mouth disease spreads through the air, coughing, fecal contact, and contaminated objects
- Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is common in nurseries and young children
- Hand-foot-and-mouth disease symptoms include malaise, lethargy, and spots on the buttocks and groin

- Herpangina is caused by the same virus as hand-foot-and-mouth disease
- Herpangina symptoms include vesicles in the mouth
- Herpangina commonly affects children aged 3 to 10 years
Epstein-Barr Virus (Human Herpesvirus 4)
