This state of the science clinical article focuses on ways pediatric clinicians can manage herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) infections in children and adolescents. HSV-1 infections can be transmitted during close contact with asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals (Waggoner-Fountain & Grossman, 2004). Recurrent HSV-1 outbreaks are believed to be caused by various endogenous and exogenous triggers. These HSV-1 outbreaks cause physical and emotional consequences in children and their families. HSV-1 infections in children most commonly cause gingivostomatitis, but these infections can also cause various skin infections, including herpetic whitlow, herpes gladiatorum, eczema herpeticum, and herpes genitalis. It is critical for pediatric clinicians to be familiar with the pathophysiology and clinical manifestations in order to effectively identify, manage, and treat HSV-1 infections with a variety of topical or systemic medications, as well as with prevention strategies and nutritional supplementations.
这篇科学临床文章聚焦于儿科临床医生管理儿童和青少年单纯疱疹病毒1型(HSV-1)感染的方法。HSV-1感染可在与无症状和有症状个体密切接触期间传播(瓦格纳-方丹和格罗斯曼,2004年)。复发性HSV-1发作被认为是由各种内源性和外源性触发因素引起的。这些HSV-1发作会给儿童及其家庭带来身体和情感上的影响。儿童HSV-1感染最常见的是引起龈口炎,但这些感染也可导致各种皮肤感染,包括疱疹性瘭疽、角斗士疱疹、疱疹样湿疹和生殖器疱疹。儿科临床医生熟悉其病理生理学和临床表现至关重要,以便用各种局部或全身药物,以及预防策略和营养补充剂有效地识别、管理和治疗HSV-1感染。
