8 total
What viruses have the capacity to persist in the host indefinitely in the form of an episome?
Herpesvirus
What are the three disease phases of human herpes viruses?
Primary infection, latency, and reactivation
Is it possible for the disease syndrome during a primary infection to change during reactivation?
Yes
What occurs during primary infection?
The virus is replicating, initial clinical disease occurs, patient is infectious
What are the three major factors that determine severity of herpes virus?
Age, Site of infection & Immunocompetence of the individual
What occurs during latency?
The viral genome persists but there is no replication of the virus, no disease, not infectious
What viruses establish latency in neurons?

When does reactivation generally occur?
Immunosupression of patient - stress, pregnancy, menses, other disease, or suppressive therapy
What occurs during reactivation?
Virus begins to replicate & individual becomes infectious (clinical disease may be different during this time because it may be at another site from original infections)
