Shedding of herpes simplex virus type 1 into saliva in patients with orofacial fracture.

Shedding of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) into saliva was studied in 83 patients with orofacial fractures. Infectious virus was isolated from 14 of 83 patients (16.8%) with no detectable herpetic lesion during hospitalization. Of the 83 patients, 44 (53%) had HSV-1 specific antibody. Virus shedding into saliva was observed only in the patients with antibody to HSV-1; thus, the frequency of virus shedding patients among those with antibody was 31% (14 of 44 patients). The frequency was obviously higher than that of a healthy population. The period of HSV-1 shedding had a mean of 3.7 days with range of 1 to 8 days, which is also significantly longer than that of a healthy population. These results strongly suggest that both treatment and operation lead effectively to reactivation of latently infected HSV-1.

Shedding of herpes simplex virus type 1 into saliva.

The shedding of herpes simplex virus Type 1 (HSV-1) into saliva was studied in 110 healthy individuals, 55 patients who were undergoing oral surgery, and 21 immunocompromised patients in an asymptomatic Japanese population. Specimens were collected regularly for up to 2 months from each individual. Virus was recovered on at least one occasion from 4.5% of the healthy individuals, 20% of the patients undergoing oral surgery and 38% of the immunocompromised patients. In those individuals that shed virus, the duration of shedding varied from a mean of 1.2 days in the healthy individuals to 5.8 days in patients undergoing oral surgery, and was 3 days in the immunocompromised patients. The majority of oral surgery patients shed HSV-1 into saliva within 7 days after surgery and immunocompromised patients shed virus almost continuously. The role of surgery in triggering the reactivation of latent HSV-1, and the differences in rates of viral shedding between American and Japanese are discussed.
