Thus, confirmatory testing only of sera with low-positive HSV-2 IgG indices misses some false-positive and indeterminate samples, leading to misdiagnosis of HSV-2 infection. 展开 关键词: Herpes simplex virus type 2 IgG Inhibition assay Confirmatory testing ...
HSV-2 infection is a significant concern for infertility, with evidence suggesting it can contribute to a range of reproductive complications. The seroprevalence of HSV-2 among infertile men in Iran has not yet been determined. Therefore, we conducted a case-control study to examine the ...
The range and potential severity of HSV-1 infections lead some experts to view the virus as more risky than usually perceived. "This is heresy, but I think type 1 is a more significant infection than type 2," says Spotswood Spruance, MD, an oral HSV specialist at the University of Utah...
