Herpes febrilis и herpes genitalis

Abstract

It is still unclear whether the causative agents of both of these diseases are identical or different. Lipschutz (Arch. F. Derm. U. Sypb., 1925, Bd. 149) indicates the difference between them on the basis of: 1) his own observations during experimental infection of human skin with a virus of both forms: 2) different duration of evolution of keratitis in a rabbit after vaccination of both viruses and 3) is different in histological skin lesions. A comparison of a number of clinical observations also indicates a difference in the etiological moment for both herpes species.
