Acyclovir-resistant herpes simplex virus (HSV) has become increasingly common, particularly among patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
Antiviral resistance in herpes simplex virus and varicella-zoster virus infections: diagnosis and management
It helps in treating viral infections like herpes labialis, herpes simplex virus infections, shingles, genital herpes infection and chickenpox
Among persons aged 14 to 49 years in the United States, the HSV-1 seroprevalence is 47
Viracea was tested against 40 strains of herpes simplex virus (HSV): 15 strains (five HSV-1 and ten HSV-2) were resistant to acyclovir (ACV-R) and 25 strains (13 HSV-1 and 12

Our results confirm recognised mutational sites as being major determinants of thymidine kinase (tk)-associated ACV resistance, in particular insertions and/or deletions at homopolymer stretches When the nucleoside analogue acyclovir was introduced in the early 1980s, it presented a game-changing treatment modality for herpes simplex virus infections

Treatment with acyclovir is highly effective in this disease
In immunocompromised patients anogenital HSV disease may have atypical features and may be very severe
Infection with herpes simplex is widespread; globally it is estimated 67% of the population aged 0–49 years has been exposed to HSV 1 and 11
If direct patient specimen is sent for testing, add Herpes Simplex Virus Culture (0065005)

We report a child with myelodysplastic syndrome undergoing multiple SCT, who experienced HSV-1 disease including severe mucositis and herpetic whitlow, as well as
We present a case of acyclovir-resistant HSV treated with intralesional cidofovir
