Death Due to Furosemide Anaphylaxis and The Importance of Serum Tryptase Level in Diagnosing Anaphylaxis: A Case Report

Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) is a viral agent that causes

infections in humans which can result in the formation of

painful blisters or ulcers. The infection persists throughout a

person’s lifetime and is characterized by periodic re-activation

at the initial site of infection [1]. HSV is classified into two

distinct types, Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and Herpes

simplex virus 2 (HSV-2). HSV-1 is mainly spread through

oral-to-oral contact and commonly leads to orolabial herpes,

also known as cold sores. In addition, HSV-1 can cause less

common conditions such as keratitis, ocular complications,

and encephalitis. While HSV-1 genital infection resulting from

oral-to-genital contact is increasingly observed, re-activation

is less frequent compared to HSV-2. HSV-2 is primarily

transmitted through sexual contact and causes genital herpes

[2]. HSV has the capacity to invade the central nervous system

(CNS) during primary infection or through latent state reactivation. Following the primary infect
