HSV 1 and HSV two Test Kits for Simple and Accurate Test Results For Herpes virus.

Summary:
In comparison with CENTER HerpeSelect 1 and 2 IgG it is shown that in group 1 and 2 the brand new MIKROGEN recomLine HSV-1 & HSV-2 IgG experienced in 34, 7% (17/49) of the samples a better sensitivity for any HSV lysate antigen. Furthermore in group 1 with 16, 3% (9/49) of the samples a higher reactivity for gG1 or gG2 had been found.

Remark:
The differentiation between a primary or recurrent HSV infection should be possible if the determination of antibodies (type-specific antibodies with regard to HSV-1 and HSV-2) and virus isolation is performed simultaneously. Especially if a presumptive prognosis for herpes genitalis in pregnancy exists the differentiation of major or recurrent infection is actually of much importance. The best significance with the findings is given if patient samples (smear and blood) are taken before you start of the infection.
