Patient's question:
My good friend's child has contracted herpes simplex virus infection, and it seems quite serious. The family is very upset. Could you please tell me what causes herpes simplex virus infection and what are the symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Most cases develop from viremia to widespread involvement of multiple organs, including the skin, lungs, central nervous system, adrenal glands, heart, and kidneys, during the first weekend. Clinical symptoms are similar to neonatal sepsis,、、、、、、、。In most cases, groups of herpes can be seen on the skin, which may occur in exposed areas. The base of the herpes is red, with clear edges. Some children do not develop herpes during the entire course of the disease, making the diagnosis of this disease very difficult. These cases have a poor prognosis and a higher mortality rate. Survivors may have sequelae such as neurological problems.
