The features of clinical course of localized and generalized forms of herpetic infection, caused by Herpes Simplex virus types I and ІІ in 100 patients on the different stages of HIV infection were studied. It was established that localized forms of herpetic infection - labial and genital herpes – are characteristic only for patients in I the ІІ stages of HIV infection. They differ from analogical forms in patients without HIV infection by more severe course, recurrent character, and erosion – ulcer elements of rash which spreads on nearby anatomic areas. Visceral and generalized forms of herpetic infection, which indicate the expressed immunosuppression, are characteristic for the AIDS stage of HIV infection. They manifestated by erosion – ulcer ezofagitis, proctitis, pneumonia, encephalitis which was direct reason of such patients death. Localized forms of herpetic infection- labial and genital herpes – with erosive and ulcerative lesions, dissemination and duration more than 1month should be considered as AIDS indicative disease.
