Herpes simplex virus 1,2
Herpesviruses are abundant in nature. Nowadays more than 100 herpes viruses are distinguished, a small amount of which occurs in humans. Herpesvirus can remain persistent in a human body for the entire lifetime causing diseases with multiple clinical implications.
Herpes simplex virus invades a human body through damaged skin and mucous membranes. During the first phase of pathogenesis, the virus gets into epithelial cells (mucosa of oral cavity, pharynx or genital organs), where its replication occurs. Papules and vesicles, characteristic for herpes infection, appear on mucosa and skin.
The Herpes simplex virus 1,2 (HSV-1,2) Real-Time PCR Detection Kit is in vitro DNA test, which is intended for the specific identification of Herpes simplex virus 1,2 in human biological samples.
