| herpes simplex encephalitis | The most common acute encephalitis, caused by HSV-1; affects persons of any age; preferentially involves the inferomedial portions of the temporal lobe and the orbital portions of the frontal lobes; pathologically, severe haemorrhagic necrosis is present along with, in the acute stages, intranuclear eosinophilic inclusion bodies in the neurons and glial cells.

| herpes simplex keratitis | <ophthalmology, pathology> A serious viral infection of the cornea that can result in a nonpenetrating erosion (corneal ulcer) of the cornea. The causative agent is Herpes zoster. Recurrences may be triggered by stress, exposure to sunlight, use of immunosuppressive medications or another illness. Treatment includes antiviral eyedrops.

| herpes simplex virus 1 helicase-primase | <enzyme> Complex of three herpes-encoded gene products (ul52, ul5, and ul8) in addition to helicase activity, contains a tightly associated complex that may prime lagging strand synthesis as it unwinds DNA at the viral replication fork Registry number: EC 3.1.- Synonym: hsv-1 helicase-primase, ul5 protein, hsv helicase-primase complex, ul52 protein, ul8 protein (26 Jun 1999) |

| dermatitis simplex | Blushing or redness of the skin caused by a toxic reaction or a neurovascular phenomenon. Synonym: dermatitis simplex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ichthyosis simplex | most common form of ichthyosis characterised by prominent scaling especially on the exterior surfaces of the extremities. It is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. (12 Dec 1998) |
| epidermolysis bullosa simplex | This represents a group of rare inherited disorders in which blistering of the skin occurs in response to skin trauma. Large fluid-filled blisters can occur in response to injury, skin rubbing, chafing or even increases in room temperature. Secondary bacterial infection of the blisters is common. Complications include oesophageal stricture, infections, loss of function of hands and feet and malnutrition. The dermatologist is the expert in the evaluation and treatment of this disorder.
