herpes virus Explanation: Is this for Amazonia? São lesões localizadas, provocadas pelo vírus da catapora, o herpes vírus, que fica incubado em um músculo do corpo e se manifesta quando há uma queda na resistência imunológica da pessoa. http://www.santalucia.com.br/dermatologia/herpes.htm varicela-catapora http://www.maxway.com.br/ProdBenef.htm I think I found the document you are translating, part in Italian part in Portuguese http://www.amazonia.org/htm/it/biagio2.htm Perhaps you should propose the word in the Port-Engl subcommunity. In any case, the person who contracted catapora was 46 years old; chances are that it could be herpes zoster, see this passage: Shingles is a very painful disease caused by the same herpes virus that causes chicken pox (varicella zoster virus). Like other herpes viruses, the varicella-zoster virus has an initial infectious stage, (chicken pox) followed by a dormant stage. Then, with no warning, the virus becomes active again. This reactivation of the virus is most likely to occur in people with a weakened immune system. This includes people with HIV disease, and anyone over 50 years old. Shingles is not one of the infections that lead to a diagnosis of AIDS http://www.aidsinfonet.org/514-shingles.html regards paola l m |
