متن کاملLatent multiple infections by herpes simplex virus type 1.
The presence or absence of latent multiple infections with herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1 was investigated. DNA cleavage patterns resulting from the digestion of viral DNA by restriction enzymes were studied. The DNA cleavage patterns of asymptomatically shed viruses isolated from the saliva of subjects at different time were compared to HSV-1 isolated from patients with HSV-1 infections of the o...
متن کاملSlow virus infections of the central nervous system.
The major slow viral infections discovered in man manifest themselves in chronic neurological disease. Studies of these diseases have allowed a better understanding of the mechanisms of virus persistence in the central nervous system. Findings are summarized from recent investigations on such slow viral infections as subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopath...
