Frequency of Herpes simplex virus in patients with Stroke by PCR
Authors
Abstract:
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) causes a wide range of pathologies in the human central nervous system (CNS) such as stroke. It was proposed that there is an association between HSV infection and stroke with different results reported by the researchers using different methods. This study aimed to investigate the frequency of HSV among stroke patient and control groups. We detected HSV in 28 stroke patients and 28 controls that admitted in Beheshti, Emam Reza, Rajaee and Emam Sajad Hospital in 2013 north of Iran. DNA was extracted from blood samples and the infection with HSV was examined by PCR technique. The results obtained by this study showed that 15(53.6%) out of 28 in patients were infected by HSV, while the number of control samples infected by this virus was 9(32.1%). Statistical analysis has shown that there is not any significant association between the frequency of HSV and stroke, while in other studies the significant association between HSV and stroke has been demonstrated. These contradictory results could be due to the use of different diagnosing techniques, sample type and epidemiological differences.

Molecular detection of herpes simplex virus (HSV) DNA is recognized as the reference standard assay method for the sensitive and specific diagnosis of central nervous system infections caused by HSV. In this study, a molecular assay based on real-time PCR on the LightCycler (LC) instrument was evaluated and compared with a home-brew molecular assay. The detection limit of the LC assay was deter...

Background: The diagnosis of herpes simplex virus may requirevirological confirmation. Tzanck smear is an old, rapid, costeffective but nonspecific method that has been recently re-evaluatedas a method for the diagnosis of herpes virus infection. This studywas conducted to compare Tzanck smear and viral culture in thediagnosis of herpes simplex virus infection in patients clinicallysuspected to...
