The majority of herpes simplex virus (HSV) isolates resistant to acyclovir (ACV) have a deficiency of thymidine kinase (TD[sup D]). Such mutants are able to establish latency in animal models but are unable to reactivate which has contributed to the clinical dogma that, following effective eradicat...
