After herpes virus infection, it can manifest as a primary infection, a latent infection, or a recurrent infection. Primary infection is herpes virus-infected for the first time. After the primary infection of the herpes virus, the virus does not proliferate in human cells and does not destroy the cells, but it is in a latent state. At this time, the patient has no clinical symptoms. This is called a latent infection. The human body's resistance to infection and the application of immunosuppressants decreases, and the latent virus replicates and proliferates again, destroying cells and causing a series of clinical symptoms. This is called recurrent infection. Herpes simplex virus and varicella-zoster virus latent infection in sensory ganglia, trigeminal ganglia, and sacral ganglia. Epstein-Barr virus latently infects lymphocytes. The immunity produced by herpes virus infection is incomplete. Some live attenuated vaccines for herpes virus (such as HSV) or routinely inactivated dead vaccines are being studied, but some herpes viruses (such as EB virus) have carcinogenic potential. The above vaccines are dangerous. Some people have studied the extraction of EB virus-determined membrane antigens from EB virus-producing human lymphoblast cell lines to make vaccines. ^[2]
