ABSTRACT We evaluated the Lyra Direct HSV 1+ 2/VZV multiplex real-time PCR assay for
the detection and differentiation of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), HSV-2, and varicella …

Background: Herpes simplex virus infections are very common worldwide. The virus can
cause infection in various body parts, especially eyes and the nervous system. Therefore, an …

Antiviral treatment, rapid viral diagnosis and point-of-care diagnostics are all relatively new,
and their appropriate use not fully appreciated or evaluated. In this article, the need for …

BACKGROUND: A simple and rapid IsoAmp® HSV assay has been developed for
qualitative detection of herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 and 2 from genital lesions …

We evaluated two automated systems, MagNA Pure (Roche Molecular Biochemicals,
Indianapolis, Ind.) and BioRobot 9604 (Qiagen, Inc., Chatsworth, Calif.) as effective …

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections of humans have been recognized since ancient times.
Two biologically distinct serotypes, HSV type 1 (HSV-1) and HSV type 2 (HSV-2) were …

Murine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 (HSV-1
and-2, respectively) nuclear antigens were used to identify cells infected with HSV-1 or-2 by …

The determination of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection using a PCR assay is one of the
most commonly requested tests for analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), although only a …

Two enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for herpes simplex virus (HSV)
detection were compared with culture in a prospective, blinded study with 153 patients with …

The herpes simplex viruses types 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2) and varicella-zoster virus
(VZV) can cause life-threatening infections of the central nervous system and lead to severe …
