Preemptive Treatment With Acyclovir in Intubated and Mechanically Ventilated Patients With Herpes (PTH2)

This research aims to assess the interest of preemptive treatment with Acyclovir in mechanically ventilated patients with reactivation of Herpes simplex (HSV) in the throat and failure of one organ or less. HSV reactivation is common in patients hospitalized in an intensive care unit (ICU) on invasive mechanical ventilation. It begins at the oropharyngeal level (incidence up to 20-50%), then progresses downward with contamination of the distal airways (reported incidence of 20-65%). HSV reactivation is associated with high mortality. The investigators aim to disable that, in mechanically ventilated patients with HSV reactivation in the throat and failure of one organ or less, preemptive treatment with Acyclovir may reduce mortality. To answer the question posed in the research, it is planned to include 246 people hospitalized in intensive care on invasive mechanical ventilation, presenting with HSV reactivation of the throat and one organ failure or less.
