Can you tell me is herpes simplex a dangerous disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: Herpes simplex usually causes cold sores but it can cause infections of other parts of the body. When it infects the brain, it can be fatal. Fortunately this is rare. Most adults are infected with herpes simplex.
