Manifestações Clínicas Atípicas de Infeção Genital pelos Vírus Herpes Simplex e sua Abordagem Terapêutica

Abstract: RESUMO -O herpes genital é uma doença sexualmente transmissível com elevada prevalência. As apresentações clínicas atípicas da infeção herpética são raras, mas a sua prevalência aumentou, em relação com o crescente número de indivíduos imunossuprimidos. A terapêutica destas condições é difícil, requerendo maior tempo de tratamento e estando associada a uma importante taxa de resistência aos fármacos anti-virais comumente utilizados. Como alternativas eficazes, salientam-se os anti-virais foscarnet e cidofovir.… Show more

Diagnosis is rare outside the context of HIV infection or severe immunosuppression 1,2,5 . The fact that the patient did not fit into these groups contributed to a delay in the diagnosis.…”

“…Atypical manifestations of HSV are rare and occur predominantly in immunocompromised patients -namely among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients, transplant recipients, those suffering from hematological diseases or under systemic corticosteroids. 1 The classical picture of HSV 1 infection, characterized by small, grouped vesicles in an erythematous base, can be absent in these situations. 1 Occasionally, these patients present with uncommon manifestations, such as hypertrophic, verrucous lesions, tissue necrosis, chronic ulcers, folliculitis or sycosis-like lesions.…”

“…A primeira geralmente é mais severa, caracterizada pelo surgimento de lesões eritemato-papulosas que evoluem rapidamente para vesículas sobre base eritematosa e de localização variável na região genital. Além desse quadro, a primo-infecção pode ser acompanhada de manifestações gerais como: febre; mal-estar; mialgia e disúria, com ou sem retenção urinária (GARRIDO; COSTA, 2018;COUTO et al, 2020).…”
