Abstract excerpt
A duplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for the detection and genotyping of Herpes simplex virus (HSV) 1 and 2 from cerebrospinal fluid (CFS) of infants was developed. The glycoprotein D (gD) gene of HSV was selected as a target for amplification. The assay is highly specific, sensitive and reproducible. Herpes simplex virus detection is performed by agarose gel electrophoresis and Southern blot using a...
