Abstract
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) giving rise to primary or recurrent infections still threaten immunocompromised patients. However, such prophylactic measures as passive and active immunisation against VZV infection, and antiviral chemoprophylaxis and chemotherapy of HSV- and VZV-infections have improved the prognosis of these patients considerably.
