  • The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between occurrence and inducing factors of herpes labialis developed after periodontal therapy and to suggest prediction model of this lesion. A total of 100 patients were studied. A standard schedule was used for interviews of patients. It included demographic information, patient and familial history of recurrent aphthous ulcer and recurrent herpes labialis, history of systemic disease, religion, and emotional state. In case of female patients, the association of dysmenorrhea and onset of recurrent herpes labialis was also observed. After periodontal therapy, some details about therapy, such as the kind of therapy, location, spending time were recorded. At next appointment, the appearance and location of herpes labialis were examined. The frequency of herpes labialis after periodontal therapy was 8% and the location was predominantly mouth angle. The significant relationship was found between the onset of herpes labialis and the history of recurrent herpes labialis, surgical therapy rather than non-surgical therapy, and spending time. The prediction model of herpes labialis was not apparently established with the results of this study. In conclusion it is suggested that we should minimize traumatic manipulation and treatment time to prevent the onset of herpes labialis after periodontal therapy.

Method: We searched for papers which had both genital herpes and oriental medicine from Cochrane, Pubmed, Scopus, CNKI, Oasis, Korean traditional knowledge portal, Journal of Korean Obstetrics & Gynecology up to November 2017. After searching papers, we classified according to the study design and analyzed selected studies. Results: Sixteen papers were finally selected. Four papers are laboratory studies with Hartley guinea pig with recurrent genital herpes. Twelve papers are clinical trials which includes one single group trial, one controlled trial, ten randomized controlled trials. All of the studies have shown that herbal medicine is effective in improving the symptom of genital herpes and decreasing the recurrent rate of genital herpes and also has immunoregulatory effect. Conclusions: This study shows that herbal medicine could be a good treatment option for genital herpes. However, more well-designed clinical studies and laboratory studies will be needed.

  • Herpes virus family is highly infectious to patients, their families and dentists. The diagnosis of herpes infection is based on the characteristic clinical appearance and the location of the lesions. Herpes Simplex Virus(HSV) usually acquired through direct contact with infected lesions or body fluids, and the prevalence of HSV infection increases progressively from childhood. Primary infections provoke herpetic gingivostomatis typically affects the tongue, lips, gingival, buccal mucosa and palate. Recurrent infections give rise to vesiculo-ulcerative lesions at vermilion border of lip(herpes labialis). In the form of chickenpox, Varicella Zoster Virus(VZV) usually is infected in childhood. VZV spreads in the affected primary afferent nerve to the skin and produces a vesicular rash and pain. Epstein-Barr Virus(EBV) infects B cells and cause infectious mononucleosis. Latent EBV infection has also been implicated in Burkitt lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Cytomegalovirus(CMV) is associated with immune-compromised patient such as organ transplantation and AIDS patients.

  • Herpes zoster oticus which is called Ramsay Hunt syndrome, geniculate ganglion herpes and otic herpes, is characterized by a viral prodrome with otalgia, vesicular eruptions, facial paralysis, hearing disturbance, tinnitus, vertigo and other symtoms. Among cranial nerves, trigeminal and facial nerves are the most commonly affected in patients with herpes zoster oticus, but on rare occasions 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th cranial nerves and even the upper cervical nerve are influenced as well.. In general, it has poor prognosis compared with Bell's palsy, leaving permanent facial nerve dysfunction. We report a case of Herpes zoster oticus, which was fully recovered by acupuncture and herbal medication within 12 days. We used $FEMA^{11)}$ and House-Brackmann's grading system to assess the degree of paralysis in each part of face.

  • Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus comprises 7% of all herpes zoster infection, 50% of those involving eyeballs, and is one disease entitiy with a very grave prognosis. We have experienced a 68-year-old man who visited the emergency room complaining of severe pain in his eye and headache with loss of vision. He was seen by neurosurgeons, dermatologists and ophthalmologists, and finally sent to the pain clinic for control of pain under the diagnosis of herpes zoster ophthalmicus. In spite of zealous treatment efforts, loss of vision, pain and infectious condition did not recover; and furthermore, due to severe infection, he had his eyeball extracted 100 days after the onset of diseases. 140 days after onset, contralateral hemiplegia accompanied the disease process. We present an unusual case of herpes zoster ophthalmicus with no treatment effect.

  • Vagus nerve palsy caused by herpes virus infection is rare. Here, the author presents a 65-year-old woman with acute onset of right side otalgia and sore throat, followed by delayed vocal fold paralysis on the same side. Vesicles were also found on the posterior wall of ear canal but the tympanic membrane was not involved. Laryngoscopy revealed multiple ulcerative lesions on the pharyngeal and laryngeal mucosa exclusively on the right side. One month later, she noticed dyshonia which turned out right vocal fold paralysis. Skull base to upper chest CT did not reveal local lesion. Three months after finishing the acyclovir, her symptoms were almost gone and vocal fold movement has almost completely improved. Vagus nerve involvement of herpes infection should be considered as a differential diagnosis for patients with herpes zoster oticus with sore throat.

  • Herpes zoster as a result of reactivated varicella-zoster virus is characterized by vesicular eruptions on skin and painful neuralgia in the dermatome distribution. Pain during an acute phase of herpes zoster has been associated with a higher risk of developing postherpetic neuralgia. The current therapies for herpes zoster including analgesics and sympathetic nerve block as well as antiviral agents are important to alleviate pain and prevent postherpetic neuralgia. However, in some cases, the pain does not respond well to these treatments. We had a case in which a patient with herpes zoster did not respond to conventional therapy so we attempted to administer intravenous infusion of vitamin C which resulted in an immediate reduction in the pain.

We report a 54-year-old man with left leg weakness soon after herpes zoster in the left leg. His electrophysiological findings were consistent with the left lower lumbosacral plexopathy. It was concluded that herpes zoster can be considered to be one of the rare causes of the lumbosacral plexopathy.
