Abstract excerpt
We developed a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method, based on strain-to-strain variation of DNA repeats in the herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) genes US1 and US12, to genotype HSV-2 strains and determine the incidence and risk factors associated with HSV-2 superinfection in patients with recurrent genital herpes (RGH). Forty-seven (92%) of 51 unrelated HSV-2 isolates could be distinguished. Genotyping of...
