Genital herpes simplex virus infections in adults.
With the decline in prevalence of childhood-acquired oral-labial herpes simplex type 1 infections in some populations and the increasing incidence of genital herpes infections in adults, clinicians are more likely to see patients with severe primary, first-episode genital herpes infections. Complications of these primary infections may include aseptic meningitis and urine retention secondary to sacral radiculopathy or autonomic dysfunction. Presented are the clinical course of first-episode and recurrent infections, complications, diagnostic laboratory methods, and results of controlled clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of topical, intravenous, and oral preparations of acyclovir. Topics: Acyclovir; Administration, Oral; Administration, Topical; Adult; Antibodies, Viral; DNA, Viral; Drug Resistance, Microbial; Female; Herpes Genitalis; Humans; Immunologic Deficiency Syndromes; Injections, Intravenous; Male; Nervous System Diseases; Proctitis; Prostatitis; Recurrence; Sex Factors; Sexually Transmitted Diseases; Urethral Diseases | 1984 |

Prostatic and renal aspergillosis due to Aspergillus fumigatus in a patient receiving alemtuzumab for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.
Treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is rapidly evolving, with emerging new drugs. Alemtuzumab is a monoclonal antibody recognizing CD52 antigen approved in the treatment of relapsing-refractory CLL. A frequent side effect is the immunosuppression and patients treated with alemtuzumab risk to develop fungal infections such as aspergillosis.. This case report is about a patient who developed an uncommon localization of aspergillosis: prostatic and renal, after a treatment by alemtuzumab monotherapy. During the week 8 of alemtuzumab, the patient presented fever, urinary frequency and urologic symptoms. Persistance of fever with common antibiotherapy led to realize a tomography that showed prostatic and renal abscess (70mm and 29mm). It was decided to realize a prostatic biopsy.. Histological findings showed suppurative abscess with ischemic necrosis and fungal proliferation, with branched fungal hyphae. Direct examination was negative. Culture on Sabouraud's agar revealed a mould identified as Aspergillus fumigatus. The organism was susceptible to voriconazole (MIC: voriconazole 0,25ug/mL).. Because of the main side effect of alemtuzumab is immunosuppression, we have to research fungal infections such as Aspergillosis, particularly in patients with fever resistant to common antibiotherapy.
