herpes simplex virus type 1 encephalitis how long does it last?

---

My mom has this and has been in a 'sleeping' state since Friday. How long does this last?
She needs immediate medical attention, like YESTERDAY!!! Once you get medical help, the details of this problem will be explained to you by the doctor.

Good Luck  (+ info)

Does anyone in India require Foscarnet for HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus) Encephalitis?

---

HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus) Encephalitis is a case of neurology. Generally "Acyclovir" is used to treat this. But in cases of acyclovir resistant patient OR for immuno-deficient patients Foscarnet sodium can be used and in many cases found to be successful. Foscarnet sodium is injectable medicine available in various brands like Hospira and Astra Zeneca (name: foscavir).

I had to get these medicines from US/Singapore for my mother's treatment and have 5 spare bottles of the same. Contact me at +91 9818651818 for same.

Any victims of HSE (Herpes Simplex Encephalitis)?

---

HSE is a mental disorder that I was diagnosed with after having a seizure at work and many other seizures that followed. My neurologist told me not to worry as it will go away in approximately 6 months. This was almost 3 years ago.
HSE is affecting me greatly. My memory is shot, limiting my vocabulary, comprehension, creativity.. not to mention how it is wrecking my work. I can't remember conversations with people, can't remember names, faces, passwords, PIN's, phone numbers, etc.. I feel afraid of stepping out of the house in case I have an aura (where I space-out) or have a seizure.
I can list many, many other ways I have been affected, but the one that scares me the most is the depression that comes with it all.
I would like to hear from anyone who has been through or going through HSE and how they are handling it. appreciate it, thank you.
bump... I new HSE was rare, but not this much!
Herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by inflammation of the brain (encephalitis). Common symptoms include headaches, fevers, drowsiness, hyperactivity, and/or general weakness. The disorder may have some symptoms similar to those associated with meningitis, such as a stiff neck, altered reflexes, confusion, and/or speech abnormalities. Skin lesions usually are not found in association with herpes simplex encephalitis. Herpes simplex encephalitis is caused by a virus known as herpes simplex virus (HSV).

Can the herpes simplex virus be spread when there is not an outbreak?

---

My boyfriend gets cold sores but only occasionally. Can he pass them to me even if he does not have one at the time? In other words, is the herpes simplex virus contagious if there is not outbreak of cold sores? Thanks!
My boyfriend would always get cold sores on his lips and i never knew they were herpes i was only 16 and very naive. The first and only time that he performed oral sex, I got genital herpes and he didn't even have an outbreak!! I then later found out that herpes can be spread with or without any signs or symptoms. Since then I have also developed herpes simplex keratitis (herpes inside my eye) and will one day need a cornea transplant. Its a very scary virus that will stay with you for your entire life, there is no cure and even with the medication I still get horrible painful outbreaks. Good luck and i really hope your boyfriend is taking precautions.  (+ info)

Can herpes simplex 2 be transferred by kissing?

---

I am not to worried about herpes simplex 1. However I have heard that herpes simplex 2 can affect the mouth. Can you be affected by kissing someone who has herpes simplex 2?
Yes, it's highly transferable.  (+ info)

What does it mean if I was exposed to herpes simplex virus?

---

I just got checked for STDs and I was clean except for I was "exposed to herpes 1, simplex virus". I know that this simplex virus thingy is just cold sores. But what does it mean?
Being exposed to it usually means that you have come into contact with some one that has it the virus. It can also mean that you have it. Cold sores can be passed on during child hood by being innocently kissed by some one that has cold sores.50-80 percent f the population has cold sores and HSV1 is not considered to be an std, because you can get them with out having sex.  (+ info)

Are all the poeple infected with herpes died of Encephalitis?

---

Are we all people infected with herpes, are going to die of Encephalitis?

Thank you.
Nope. Your immune system gets better at suppressing the virus the longer you have it. Unless your immune system is incredibly weak (like if you have both AIDS and herpes) or you get a raging case of herpes in your old age, it's not worth worrying about.  (+ info)

If i have herpes simplex 1 and i have oral sex with my boyfreind is he likely to contract genital herpes?

---

I was just wondering if it is very likely that if i have herpes simplex 1, (cold sores) if my boyfreind would contract genital herpes during oral sex. If so, would it be where he could give it back to me, and if we had a baby it would be deformed?

can you get encephalitis from a mosquito who has bitten someone with herpes?

---

because herpes and encephalitis are caused by the same virus. and you get encephalitis from mosquitoes. so, if a mosquito bit a person with genital herpes, then bit someone else, could they transfer the virus and give the second person encephalitis?
No. Not related. Encephalitis attacks the brain. Causes coma, high fever and could cause death. There has been no documented transfer of herpes via mosquito. Had a nephew who contracted Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE)and we learned a lot about that and other diseases transmitted by bugs. Herpes also has to be in a contagious state , for the most part, to contract that disease. If in doubt, contact the hospital, free clinic or CDC. They all have web pages to answer this type of question. Tagger  (+ info)
