CLIA
Herpes simplex virus
 english |
The
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a member of the Herpesviridae family, of
which two types are known: Type 1 (HSV-1) and Type 2 (HSV-2) which presentslight
antigenic differences. HSV-1 causes chiefly oral-facial lesions, while
HSV-2 is mainly responsible for genital lesions, but this distinction
is not binding, asboth types may occasionally cause infection in either
anatomical site. HSV may also cause a form of ocular cheratitis, and lesions
of the central nervous system.
The primary infection is often in a subclinical form and is rarely diagnosed.
After a latency period of variable duration, reactivation may occur and
viral replication may give rise to clinical lesions. HSV infection is
an important cause of infant morbidity and mortality, and thus it is important
to determine the immune status of women during pregnancy in order to detect
serum conversion. The assay of IgM is also important for the diagnosis
of neonatal infection and encephalitis caused by HSV infection contracted
during birth.
