“…Three main modes of transmission of herpetic infection to breast include: (i) infant-maternal transmission during breastfeeding, (ii) autoinoculation, and (iii) by sexual contact [2]. There is little information regarding transmission of HSV to the breast except in cases associated with neonatal breast feeding [7].…”

“…The diagnosis of isolated herpes simplex mastitis is very difficult as it can mimic others pathologies of breast like paget's disease, contact dermatitis, inflammatory carcinoma, or other bacterial or varicella zoster mastitis [2,7].…”

“…Herpes simplex is a rare cause of breast infection and published reports are extremely limited [2,3,5,6]. The mostly highlighted cause of herpes simplex mastitis is the infant to maternal transmission during breastfeeding [2]. We report a similar case of mammary infection with herpes simplex from oro-labial herpes in baby.…”

“…Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection is very common worldwide [1]. Generally, HSV type-1 affects the head and neck area, whereas the HSV type-2 tends to be associated with genital disease [2]. The viral inoculation occurs through micro abrasions of skin or mucosa during close contact with an infected person and causes a myriad of clinical presentations with varying severity [3].…”

“…Not all patients exposed to the virus develop clinical disease and also majority of HSV-1 infection remain subclinical [3,4]. Herpes simplex is a rare cause of breast infection and published reports are extremely limited [2,3,5,6]. The mostly highlighted cause of herpes simplex mastitis is the infant to maternal transmission during breastfeeding [2].…”

Herpes simplex virus is a highly contagious virus belonging to the Herpesviridae family. The infection is primarily transmitted through direct mucocutaneous contact with either oral or genital lesions of an infected individual. The transmission of virus from mother to child is well known and mostly occur during the delivery when the neonate's skin is exposed to either mother's vaginal secretions or to the active herpetic lesions on the genital tract. The transmission of infection in the reverse order (i.e. from the child to mother) has been rarely reported in literature. Herein, we report the bilateral occurrence of herpetic breast infection in a lactating mother who acquired it from oro-labial herpes infection in her daughter.

This review on herpes simplex virus type I and type II (HSV‑I, HSV‑II) summarizes recent developments in clinical manifestations and treatment interventions for primary and recurrent orolabial and genital herpes, as well as those regarding vaccination issues. Among the clinical presentations, the relationship between pyogenic granuloma and chronic HSV‑I infection; HSV-related folliculitis; verrucous HSV‑I and HSV‑II lesions; the role of recurrent HSV‑I infection in burning mouth syndrome; HSV‑I and HSV‑II infection of the periareolar area; zosteriform HSV; the "knife-cut sign"; and the preferential colonization and infection of preexisting dermatoses by HSV‑I or HSV‑II are discussed. The usual antiviral treatment regimens for primary and recurrent orolabial and genital herpes are compared to short-term and one-day treatment options. New anti-HSV‑I and anti-HSV‑II agents include amenavir, pritelivir, brincidofovir, valomaciclovir, and FV-100. Therapeutic or preventive vaccination against HSV‑I and HSV‑II infections still remains a highly desirable treatment aim, which, unfortunately, has no clinically relevant applications to date.
