Human herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a double stranded DNA virus with two distinct types, HSV-1 and HSV-2. The global burden of HSV is high with an estimated 2/3 of the adult population seropositive for at least one of these types of HSV. HSV rarely causes life-threatening disease in immunocompetent children and adults.

Purpose: To ascertain the homing of monocytes and neutrophils in the epithelium versus stroma of HSV-1 infected corneas at different stages of infection and functional significance of their anatomical location in virus-infected corneas.
Methods: The corneas of C57BL/6J mice were infected with HSV-1 McKrae. Mice were euthanized on different days post-infection.

Although herpes simplex virus, Epstein-Barr virus, and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis are known causes of severe acute liver injury with or without liver failure, these diseases occur almost exclusively in immunocompromised and elderly patients. We report a case of an immunocompetent young man with no medical history who presented with a subacute cough and persistent fevers in the setting of a penile chancre. He was found to have severely elevated liver chemistries and was subsequently diagnosed with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis because of disseminated herpes simplex virus type 1 and Epstein-Barr virus coinfection.

Herpes zoster (HZ) is increasingly common in the aging and is experienced by approximately one in three people in their lifetime. It is also relatively common in immune-compromised people. Acute HZ causes severe pain, reduced quality of life and severe complications, including prolonged pain, or postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), and ocular zoster, which may rarely progress to blindness.

We present a case report of a 72-year-old female with a history of stage III rectal adenocarcinoma undergoing chemotherapy who developed neutropenic sepsis and acute respiratory failure. The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) due to worsening respiratory status and was subsequently diagnosed with disseminated herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This case highlights the challenges in diagnosing and managing HSV infection in critically ill patients and emphasizes the importance of early recognition and appropriate treatment in improving patient outcomes.
