No More Cold Sores?

In the article “Research May Point to Treatment of ColdSores” written by Douglas Quenqua in the New York Times, he states that there may be a treatment for cold sores. About 20% of people get regular cold sores, which may be genetic. Herpes simple virus type 1, which is cold sore, is very common, affecting almost 9 out of 10 people. But just because people have the virus does not mean they get cold sores often or at all. Researchers from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland found genes that contained proteins that prevented the virus, but one was mutated and caused people to develop the sores. The gene was called IL28B and it did not produce the protein to stop sores from forming. With this information, the possible treatment is acyclovir, which could also treat other infections that are caused by the virus, but not for infections of brain, eyes, and genitals when very severe.


This research is very helpful because many people suffer from cold sores, although it is not a life or death situation, but it is a common thing that people have to deal with on a daily basis that could potentially be treated. The only thing I have known that help cold sores is Abreva, which some say do not work for them. Acyclovir can also treat eczema, which is a form of herpes. If this treatment does work, it could potentially lead to finding treatment from the more severe infections that were mentioned, such as the brain, eyes, and genitals. Acyclovir can only stop the spread of the virus, it is not a cure. So, this treatment could lead to a cure for all of the herpes viruses.
