Detection of Herpes simplex Virus Genomic DNA in Various Subsets of Erythema multiforme by Polymerase Chain Reaction
1 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The wide variation in the detection of herpes simplex virus (HSV) DNA (36-75%) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in erythema multiforme (EM) may be partly attributed to differences in case selection in terms of subsets of EM studied. OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequencies of detection of HSV DNA in specific subsets of EM. METHODS: Nested PCR was used to detect HSV DNA in skin biopsies with...
