The ability to make an accurate and timely diagnosis is essential given the physical and psychological morbidity experienced by individuals and the risk of onward transmission of infection to the wider community. This is achieved through a combination of direct microscopy, bacterial culture, molecular detection and serological testing. The choice of test is guided by the method with the highest sensitivity and specificity, usually nucleic acid amplification testing. With antimicrobial resistance being a significant global concern, monitoring resistance trends is crucial in guiding antimicrobial prescribing. STI testing must be both accessible and acceptable to patients, with testing now available in a variety of community and healthcare settings. Self-sampling for STIs offers a suitable alternative to clinician-taken swabs for those who do not want or need an examination.

Erythema infectiosum is typically an acute, self-limiting, biphasic illness commencing with non-specific flu-like symptoms accompanying viraemia, followed by more specific signs of rash and/or arthropathy coinciding with seroconversion. Most infections are subclinical. Erythrovirus B19 can cause life-threatening illness requiring urgent intervention, depending on age and immune and haematological status. Infection of nucleated red cells causes transient aplastic crisis in patients with haemoglobinopathies, and chronic anaemia in immunocompromised individuals. Up to 50% of women of childbearing age are susceptible, being at risk of fetal loss and hydrops fetalis if infected in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. Diagnosis depends on the timing and nature of presentation. Aplastic crisis or red cell aplasia presents in the initial viraemic phase, warranting detection by polymerase chain reaction. In patients with rash or arthropathy, specific immunoglobulin (Ig) M and IgG testing is appropriate; IgG testing establishes susceptibility. No antiviral agents or preventive vaccines are available, and blood transfusion, intravenous immunoglobulin and reduction of immunosuppression remain the mainstay of management. Infection control is a challenge as index cases are infectious for 10 days before onset of the rash.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":74157,"journal":{"name":"Medicine (Abingdon, England : UK ed.)","volume":"54 3","pages":"Pages 207-212"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147415432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The hallmark of infection is the ability to establish latency and reactivate during immunosuppression. The α-herpesviruses (herpes simplex virus 1 and 2, varicella-zoster virus) are the cause of significant morbidity and mortality at the extremes of age and in immunosuppressed individuals, with a significant cost to healthcare systems worldwide. Current treatment, although effective, needs improvement; new vaccines and drugs with novel therapeutic targets offer potential to reduce disease burden. Of the β-herpesviruses, cytomegalovirus is the most clinically significant, being the most common infectious cause of birth defects. Additionally, it causes morbidity and mortality after both haemopoietic and solid organ transplantation where prophylactic and pre-emptive antiviral strategies have been developed. Human herpesvirus 6 is associated with a range of syndromes in highly immunosuppressed patients and is chromosomally integrated in up to 1% of the population, the significance of which is not clear. The lymphotropic γ-herpesviruses, Epstein–Barr virus and human herpesvirus 8, are associated with lymphoproliferative disorders and malignancies.
