In this lecture, Professor Zach Murphy breaks down Genital Herpes with a clear, high-yield approach focused on recognition, diagnosis, and management. This video builds a practical framework for understanding how herpes simplex virus establishes infection, remains latent, and causes recurrent disease.
We begin with virology and transmission, emphasizing the differences between herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2, modes of transmission, and the mechanisms of latency within sensory ganglia. Zach then walks through viral reactivation and the factors that contribute to recurrent outbreaks.
Next, the lecture covers clinical presentation, focusing on the classic painful vesicular lesions, systemic symptoms seen during primary infection, and the differences between primary and recurrent disease. You will also learn to recognize important complications and high-risk scenarios, including neonatal herpes and immunocompromised patients.
The session then focuses on diagnosis and management, including clinical recognition, confirmatory testing options, and the role of antiviral therapy with acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir for initial outbreaks, recurrent episodes, and suppressive treatment. Special attention is also given to management considerations during pregnancy and strategies to reduce the risk of neonatal transmission.
