Abstract
RECURRENT herpes-simplex encephalitis has A never been proved in human beings although cases suggestive of it have been reported. It has been demonstrated in laboratory animals. This is a report of 17 episodes of an organic psychosis associated with recurrent herpes-simplex labialis.Case ReportA 9-year-old boy was well until June 28, 1959, when he became lethargic and vomited. His father noted 2 small pustules on the right side of the lower lip. On the following day fever, with swelling of the mouth, developed, and lesions appeared on both lips. These were diagnosed as herpes simplex. On July 31 he . . .

Natural active immunity appears to be established at an earlier age in the segments of the population in which the highest carrier rate was demonstrated and the placental transmission of neutralizing antibodies was demonstrated.

In some of the patients, serologic tests were adequate to establish the presence of an infection caused by herpes simplex virus; in others, the existence of an "inclusion-body" encephalitis was demonstrated pathologically.

The development of Kaposi's herpetiform eruption would seem to depend on hematogenous spread of the virus, and this virus has occasionally been suspected as the causative agent for certain obscure lesions of internal organs.

In spite of general recognition of the possible influence of such stimuli as activators of latent infection, the mechanism responsible for recrudescence remains undetermined.

Herpes simplex virus was inoculated into corneas of 8 rabbits with the induction of herpetic keratitis which proceeded to healing which led to healing of animals in which bilateral infection had been induced previously.

One of the techniques used to attempt to prevent recurrent herpes simplex is autoinoculation, where fluid from a fresh herpetic vesicle is aspirated, then inoculated by scratching, scarification, and even occasionally by intradermal injection into another area of the body.

The subject, "Chronic Aphthous Stomatitis, Herpes Labialis and Related Conditions," should be of personal interest because I think it is conservatively estimated that the prevalence of these conditions is about 20% to 30% of the total population.

The fact that all experimental animals in the series here reported were infected clearly reveals the potentiating effect of histamine shock on susceptibility to the virus.
