Frequent Evaluation of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 in Women with Genital Herpes by Realtime PCR

Abstract

Background:   Herpes simplex type 2 is a common infection worldwide. This disease is common in both developed and developing countries. Early detection of infection is very important to reduce the risk of infection. Real-time reliable PCR is a very sensitive and specific method that can be used as the best marker in determining the therapeutic effect by identifying a viral genome in an individual. The prevalence of herpes simplex virus type 2 in women with genital herpes was evaluated by Real time PCR method.
Methods:   From January 1999 to March 2010, 45 samples of vaginal swab
s and cervix of women with genital herpes were examined for HSV virus DNA detection using Real Time PCR.
Results:   The mean age of the patients was 35.9 + 5.9. The percentage of positive cases of herpes simplex virus type 2 in the studied women was 22.2% and the history of infection with hpv was 33.3% vs. 12.5%. = 0.094 which was significant.
