Detection of Herpes Simplex Virus Infection in Cerebrospinal Fluid

ABSTRACT        Background and Objective: Herpes simplex encephalitis is a life-threatening consequence of the central nervous system (CNS) infection with Herpes simplex virus (HSV). Although it is a rare disease, mortality rates reach 70% in the absence of therapy and only a minority of individuals can return to normal function. The aim of this study was to d...

Frequency of Herpes simplex virus in patients with Stroke by PCR

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) causes a wide range of pathologies in the human central nervous system (CNS) such as stroke. It was proposed that there is an association between HSV infection and stroke with different results reported by the researchers using different methods. This study aimed to investigate the frequency of HSV among stroke patient and control groups. We detected HSV in 28 stroke ...

Detection of Herpes Simplex Virus DNA in Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome

Background: Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is one of the most common identifiable causes of open angle glaucoma. It has unknown etiology and pathogenesis. Infection, possibly viral, is one of the proposed pathogenic mechanisms in this condition. In the present study the presence of herpes simplex virus (HSV) in specimens of anterior lens capsule of patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome has been ...
