Herpes simplex virus: it's more than a cold sore. [Journal Article]
Mo Med 2007 Mar-Apr; 104(2):144-8.
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a common office problem and may be trivialized as "just a cold sore." HSV infections may cause great concern to the otherwise healthy patient due to psychosocial issues and may lead to morbidity and mortality in certain populations. This article discusses clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of orolabial/genital herpes and presents answers to questions frequently posed to primary care providers and specialists.
