Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the thymidine kinase (TK) gene of herpes simplex virus (HSV) may confer resistance to acyclovir (ACV). Because of the high genetic polymorphism of this gene, discriminating between mutations related to resistance and mutations related to gene polymorphism can be difficult, especially when no sensitive strain has been previously isolated from the same patient. To assess the role of the mutations...
