Herpes multiplex (HSV1/HSV2/CMV)

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.

Сytomegalovirus (CMV) invades a body through saliva, genital secretions during sexual intercourse, through breast milk, during organ transplantation and donor blood transfusion, when using donor sperm and ovigerms, as well as nonsterile syringes. Moreover, introduction of CMV infection can occur even during fetus prenatal development period in pregnant women with viremia.

HSV1, HSV2, CMV Multiplex REAL-TIME PCR Detection Kit is intended for detection of Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1), Herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV2) and Сytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA in human biological samples by method of multiplex Real-Time PCR. Current modification of the method allows simultaneous detection and differentiation of HSV1, HSV2 and CMV DNA in the same tube.

HSV1, HSV2, CMV Multiplex REAL-TIME PCR Detection Kit can be used in clinical diagnostic labs and in scientific research practice.
