Herpetic mastitis is extremely rare, and its imaging findings remain unclear. We report a case of herpes simplex mastitis in an adolescent woman and describe the clinical and ultrasound features. The patient showed unilateral nipple and areolar skin thickening and axillary lymphadenopathy on B-mode ultrasonography. Doppler ultrasonography revealed multiple linear and branching blood flows in the areolar area. The lesion was verified as herpes simplex mastitis via a skin biopsy. This report shows that the radiologic features of herpes simplex mastitis may be similar to those of Paget's disease because of localized nipple and areolar skin thickening and increased vascularity.

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) belongs to the Gammaherpesvirinae subfamily. During the lytic phase of herpesviruses, viral capsids form in the host cell nucleus, and the replicated viral genome is packaged into these capsids. The herpesviral genome is replicated as a precursor head-to-tail concatemer consisting of tandemly repeated genomic units, each flanked by terminal repeats (TRs).

Purpose Of Review: Nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients with BCG-unresponsive disease have limited treatment options beyond radical cystectomy. With ongoing BCG shortages and the urgent need for bladder-preserving alternatives, this review examines the emerging role of oncolytic virus therapy as a novel intravesical treatment approach for this challenging patient population.
Recent Findings: Multiple oncolytic viral platforms have entered clinical trials for NMIBC treatment, demonstrating promising efficacy and safety profiles.

Eczema Herpeticum (EH) or Kaposi's Varicelliform eruption (KVE) is a severe viral infection that occurs when herpes simplex virus infects an inflamed skin, most often occurring in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) or other inflammatory skin conditions. To discern various primary dermatoses in which KVE occurred and to study the clinical features, course, and response to specific antiviral treatment along with a course of the primary dermatoses during the episode of KVE. Data was collected in the Dermatology Out-patient department of a tertiary care center in Northern India from December 2017 to March 2024, and it was tabulated and analysed.

4-Phenylbutyrate (4-PBA), initially recognized for treating urea cycle disorders, has emerged as a potent therapeutic agent with broad-spectrum potential. As a chemical chaperone, 4-PBA modulates protein folding and reduces endoplasmic reticulum stress. 4-PBA has demonstrated efficacy in treating ocular herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection and HSV-1-induced encephalitis, highlighting its potential as a novel anti-herpetic therapy.
