AI Article Synopsis
- Human herpesvirus infections can pose serious risks to both healthy individuals and those with weakened immune systems, often leading to life-threatening conditions in immunocompromised patients.
- In healthy people, these infections are usually self-limiting but can still cause significant discomfort and reduce productivity, which has been highlighted by financial analysis models.
- Treatment for these infections in immunocompetent individuals focuses on quickly resolving symptoms and episodes to minimize their overall impact.
Article Abstract
Human herpesvirus infections continue to be a concern in immunocompetent as well as immunocompromised hosts. They are often life threatening in the immunocompromised patient. In the healthy immunocompetent person the infections tend to be self-limited, although they can directly or indirectly cause periods of severe discomfort and disability, and their treatment can affect productivity, as shown by cost-outcome models. Treatment of primary or secondary episodes in the immunocompetent host is therefore directed toward more rapid resolution of initial and recurrent episodes, thereby limiting the impact of the infections.
