Herpes Simplex Virus as an Outcome of Alzheimer’s diseaseSimplex Virus of Herpes is extremely predominant in the population. It occurs almost higherthan 70 percent in the age group of above 50 years. This is a virus which persists in theperipheral system of nerves latently and it reactivates periodically with the production along withthe viruses which are active. Herpes Simplex Encephalopathy is an acute infection that isassociated with the central nervous system and is a rare disease. Although it is different from hDisease of Alzheimer, it may lead to bilateral hippocampal that is an internal chronologicallesions which result in thoughtful vocal memory damage which is also a characteristic ofAlzheimer’s disease. Based on the temporal tropism and hippocampal virus and infection, HSVwas considered as a risk factor of environment for Alzheimer’s disease. A research hasconcluded that there has been detection of HSV in the Alzheimer’s disease patient’s brainbecause of recognition of intrathecal antibodies and DNA virus because of chain reaction causedby polymerase. However, the brain of normal aged persons also experience the virus in theirbrains, it cannot be certified that the infection of HSV is the sole reason of this disease, but itsparticipation can be observed in the process of pathogens. The frequency of positive subjects ofHSV DNA was not dissimilar between the subjects of control and AD and also the antibodies ofintrathecal were recognized in the same proportions of Alzheimer diseased patients and theageing controls shows that the chronic infection of HSV independently is not associated with thedisease of Alzheimer. It is proposed that risk associated with the development of Alzheimer’sdisease which are positive for the DNA HSV present in the normal brain who possessedapolipoprotein E e4 allele (APOE-e4) portrayed more severity than the individuals whopossessed either single or none of these characteristics. However, these studies remain in thecontroversy as it is not confirmed by any other study.
The disease of Alzheimer is a gradual disease related to neurodegeneration which leads toneurons damage that is irreversible and the damage of abilities of intellects which includescognition and memory. As per the characteristics defined by pathology by the tangles caused byintracellular neurofibrillary and plaques of extracellular senile. While the Alzheimer Disease’spathogenesis is still indefinable, it is recognized widely that amyloid-β precursor protein (APP)plays a significant part in Alzheimer disease’s pathogens which is based on following proof:beta-amyloid peptide (which is a significant ingredient of plaques of senile which may lead todeath of cells, memory impairment and synaptic defects) is the successor of) amyloid-β precursorprotein. Secondly, if the axonal transport mediated by APP gets disrupted, it leads todegeneration of neurons which is associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Abnormal APPphosphorylation may cause production of Abeta, degeneration and stress of cell.The simplex virus of Herpes is a double stranded neurotropic DNA virus which is inclusive ofsubtypes of HSV: 1 and HSV: 2. HSV comprises an internal core DNA, an external envelop, thetegument and a capsid which is fat membrane consisting of glycoproteins. Almost 60-880 % ofindividuals gets infected from the HSV: 1 globally and results in harmful corneal blindness,deadly encephalitis and general cold sore. HSV is the leading and significant pathogen viruswhich is highly infectious and is found in the immunocompromised masses like transplantreceivers. Initially, HSV damages the epithelial cells and tissues and later enters in to theterminals of sensory nerves. HSV tends to damage the tissues which includes infiltration of cells,inflammation of perivascular structures and formation of syncytial. During the life cycle of HSVin sensory system of nerves, HSV moves by the retrograde mode to the neurons bod of cells inthe trigeminal cysts and gradually enters the latency or it replicates.
