Abstract excerpt
Real-time PCR with melting curve analysis of PCR products is a rapid procedure for detecting and genotyping herpes simplex virus (HSV). When testing mucocutaneous samples for HSV by a real-time PCR assay targeting the DNA polymerase gene, we found that some PCR products had atypical melting curves that did not conform to the expected melting temperatures for HSV type 1 or 2. Sequence analysis showed that these...
