We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Genital herpes — The claim 'recurrence rate (HSV-1)=approximately 50%' is a factual error: for genital HSV-1, the recurrence rate within a year is about 20-30%, not 50%.
Genital herpes — The claim 'recurrence rate (HSV-2)=approximately 80%' is misleading: the 80% figure refers to the proportion of infected individuals who experience at least one recurrence within a year, not a fixed universal recurrence rate.
Hepatitis A — The entry states 'global_symptomatic_cases_per_year=~1.4 million' but the WHO estimate of ~1.4 million refers to total infections (including asymptomatic), not just symptomatic cases; symptomatic cases are lower.
Hepatitis A — The entry states 'global_infections_per_year=~114 million' but the commonly accepted WHO estimate is ~1.4 million infections per year globally, not 114 million.
Hepatitis D — The claim that HDV can infect salivary glands in people with Sjögren's disease without the presence of HBV, possibly using herpes simplex virus as a trojan horse, is not established in widely-known canon/history; HDV is strictly dependent on HBV for its life c
Hepatitis D — The fatality rate of 20% for hepatitis D in combination with HBV is not a universally established fixed figure; stating it as a definitive 20% is an oversimplification that may misrepresent the range of outcomes.
Herpes esophagitis — The claim 'most_accurate_diagnosis=Viral tissue culture' is factually incorrect; PCR is more sensitive and accurate for HSV esophagitis.
Herpes esophagitis — The claim 'False negative biopsy results can occur if samples are taken from the ulcer rather than the ulcer margin' is factually incorrect; samples from the ulcer margin are more likely to yield positive results, while necrotic center samples may cause false
Herpes simplex encephalitis — The claim that about 30% of HSE patients develop anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis as a secondary immunologic reaction is factually incorrect; the actual rate is far lower and the figure is fabricated.
Herpes simplex encephalitis — The statement that brain electrical activity changes spread from one temporal lobe to the other after exactly 7–10 days is not a standard, widely-cited fact and the specific timeline is likely an invented detail.
Herpes simplex keratitis — The entry states that the infection causes 'sinusitis' as a symptom, which is not a recognized symptom of herpes simplex keratitis.
Infectious mononucleosis — The entry states that Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoon that can trigger infectious mononucleosis, which is incorrect; Toxoplasma gondii causes toxoplasmosis, not infectious mononucleosis.
Japanese encephalitis — The entry states 'The virus can also spread across the placenta.' This is not a widely established fact for Japanese encephalitis; while transplacental transmission has been suggested in rare case reports, it is not a standard or confirmed mode of transmission
