In addition to many unreported cases, there are about 15,000 new cases reported each year in the UK. The curative effect of this disease is not yet ideal, it is impossible to completely cure, and often easy to relapse. However, most can alleviate the symptoms. The use of the antiviral acycloguanosine (Acyclovir) shows new promise and the results are encouraging. At the same time, we must devote ourselves to education, to soothe and prevent as much as possible the infection, especially in fetuses and newborns.
