General Information

"Herpes Profile 1" includes a study of the following parameters:

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) It is an ancient and ubiquitous virus that causes acute and recurrent infections in humans. Transmission occurs through close contact with infected people. The virus enters the mucous membranes (eyes, mouth and genitals) and multiplies locally. The clinical course of the infection is variable and the symptoms can sometimes be minimal and unnoticed. Mainly develops rash, skin damage, genital tract damage and herpes of the newborn. In a small percentage of those infected, the virus can enter the lymph node of a sensitive nerve root and cause recurrent (recurrent) infections. Very often, the infection is asymptomatic and the virus remains latent (dormant). Its reactivation usually occurs under the influence of external factors such as immunosuppression, stress or other infection.

Possible interpretation of the results

IgM

Getting a positive result indicates an active infection.

Reactivation of the virus may or may not result in a marked increase in IgM antibody levels.

Diagnostic limitations

  • The results obtained should always be considered in the context of the results of clinical diagnostics and other laboratory tests.
  • The presence of IgG antibodies in a single sample is not sufficient to distinguish between active and transmissible infections. Active infection is confirmed by the presence of IgM antibodies, demonstration of significant growth of IgG antibodies in the dynamics, or direct culturing of the virus.
  • In patients with immunodeficiency, the results should be interpreted with caution.
