HSV-associated diseases are one of the most widespread infection and most genital herpes is caused by HSV type 2 (HSV-2). Treatment of genital herpes is complex. In addition to administration of the standard antiviral medications, an ideal management protocol should also address various aspects of the disease. Oral acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir are recommended for routine treatment. Long-term suppressive therapy is effective in reducing recurrence rate as well as the risk of transmission to others. However, antiviral drugs cannot cure HSV infection and persist during the lifetime of the host, often in latent form. Management of the sex partner, appropriate counseling, and prevention advice or education are equally important in management of genital herpes. This review provides a summary of several important recent guidelines regarding recommended management for the herpes genitalia.

The recommended regimen is acyclovir 5-10 mg/kg IV every 8 hours for 2-7 days or until clinical improvement is observed, followed by oral antiviral therapy to complete at least 10 days of total therapy. A It s more effective to initiatethe antiviral therapy as early as possible after onset of the clinical episode. - Valacyclovir within 3 days - within 5 days - within 5-7 days Valacyclovir, famciclovir, acyclovir are all effective in reducing the severity and duration of episode.

Valacyclovir는치료의경우 1회 500 mg 1일 2회, 재발성 5일, 증상이심하면 10일까지투여할수있고, 재발억제를위해서는 1일 500 mg (1회또는 2회분복 ), 면역저하환자는 500 mg 1일 2회로되어있다. 안전한성생활을병행하는경우억제요법으로성기포진전염감소를위해서는연간 9회이하로재발하고면역기능이정상인이성애성인의경우 500 mg 1일 1회로되어있다. 는초발성성기단순포진은 250 mg 1일 3회, 5일간사용하게되어있고, 급성재발성성기단순포진은 125 mg 1일 2회, 5일간이허가사항이다. 재발성성기단순포진의억제는 250 mg 1일 2회로되어있다. 이외에보존적치료로 saline bathing, 국소진통요법을같이할수있다. 국소마취제를사용하는것은 sensitization 의문제가있을수있으나 lidocaine은이런민감반응이극히드물어성기단순포진에서도젤또는연고의형태로사용이가능하다. 하지만, benzocaine 은민감반응의문제로사용이금지되어있다 합병증의치료 (Treatment of Genital Herpes Complications) 요정체, 뇌수막염, 전신증상이심한경우나치료에부정적

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) 감염환자에서발생한 HSV 병변은심하고, 통증을동반하며, 비정형적으로나타날수있으며, HSV 흘림현상도증가한다. 11 HIV 감염환자들에서최초발현성기단순포진에대한임상시험은없지만, 대부분의전문가들은일반적인용량보다증량된요법을권장한다. 5 하지만, 정상적인 cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) 수치를보이는경우에는표준요법을고려할수있다. 5 HIV 가진행된경우에는평균용량의 2배를고려해야하며, 3-5일이후에도새로운병변이형성되는경우에는좀더고용량을사용해야한다. 5,6,11 유럽가이드라인에서제시하고있는용법은다음과같다. 5 (1) mg 1일 5회 (2) mg 1일 3회 (3) Valacyclovir 500 mg-1 g 1일 2회 (4) mg 1일 3회치료기간은 5-10일, 적어도재상피화가이루어질때까지필요하다. 2) 재발성감염 CDC 가이드라인에서제시하고있는재발성감염에서의간헐적또는억제요법은 Table 5와같다. 6 항바이러스치료에도병변이지속되거나재발하는경우에는 HSV resistance 를고려해서 viral isolate 및 sensitivity test 가필요하다. 9 이런경우에는 HIV 전문가에게자문을구해야하며다른치료방법을모색해야한다. 에저항성을가지는경우에는 valacyclovir 및 famciclovir 에도대부분저항

Recommended Managements for the Herpes Genitalia 성을보인다. 이런경우에는 foscarnet (40 mg/kg IV, 8시간간격 ) 또는 cidofovir (5 mg/kg, 1주 1회 ) 가효과가있을수있다. 6 매일억제요법을하는경우가간헐적요법에비해서 acyclovir-resistant HSV의발생이더적었다는보고가있다 백신이론적으로바이러스의전파를막는가장좋은방법은백신이지만, 성기단순포진에대한효과적인백신은아직개발되지않았다. 28 일부연구들에서 HSV type 2 glycoprotein D 백신이 HSV-seronegaive (HSV-1, 2 모두음성인경우 ) 여성의성기단순포진감염을예방하는효과가보고되었지만, 남성또는 HSV-1에양성인여성에서는예방효과가없었다. 29,30 결 론 성기단순포진은치료는가능하지만완치는불가능한질환이다. 치료는개인의상황을고려해야하며, 여러용법들중에서환자에게가장편한용법에대한상담도필요하다. 또한이런약물투여외에도질환성격이나, 병의전파를예방하기위한상담그리고에이즈와의관계등에대해서도교육이필요하다.
