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 ...

conclusions: prevalence of hsv1/2 in mucocutaneous biopsies from pemphigus patients is 2.5% and possibly hsv1/2 has no role in the pathogenesis of pemphigus lesions. but resistant cases to treatment might be suspected to hsv. results: ten patients (25%) had a history of orolabial herpes infection. the results of all samples were negative for hsv1 except one sample which showed the positive resu...

Neonatal herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections may be caused by either herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) or herpes simplex virus type-2 (HSV-2). In the United States, HSV-2 is responsible for 75% of genital and neonatal infections, while HSV-1 causes the rest. HSV-1 more commonly affects the oropharynx, the eyes and the central nervous system.1,2 It is estimated that 20 to 30% of sexually act...

Antigens isolated from herpes simplex virus type 1, herpes simplex virus type 2, or cytomegalovirus-transformed hamster cells were tested against 66 sera from non-cancer individuals or patients with different types of cancer. By use of the microcomplement fixation procedure to quantify all antigen-antibody interactions, it was observed that 94% (p less than 0.001) of all sera from patients with...

conclusions herpes simplex virus was present in more patients with ms than healthy cases. hsv may be directly or indirectly associated with ms development. further comprehensive molecular studies are needed to confirm the etiopathologic association between hsv and ms disease. results totally, 63 (76.8%) patients with ms showed a history of hsv exposure by anti-hsv testing compared to 70 (78.7%)...

background :wide distribution and low half-life of acyclovir has led to a high dose consumption of the drug. recent studies have shown that encapsulation of acyclovir in nano-carriers can increase effectiveness and decrease its side effects. we investigated the inhibitory effect of acyclovir loaded nano-niosomes against herpes simplex virus type-1 (hsv-1) in cell culture.   methods : in-vitro c...

Brown alga, Turbinaria conoides was successively extracted with n-hexane, cyclohexane, methanol and ethanol:water (1:1). The extracts were evaluated for antibacterial and antifungal activities by disc diffusion method. Minimal inhibitory concentration was determined for active extracts by broth dilution method. The antiviral activity and cytotoxicity of the extracts were tested in human embryon...

background: the present study sought to investigate molecular evidence for association between the presence of herpes simplex virus (hsv), cytomegalovirus (cmv), and epstein-barr virus (ebv) in crc and colorectal polyp by using the pcr method in iran. methods: in this analytical case-control study, we selected 15 patients with crc, 20 patients with colorectal polyp, and 35 patients without mali...
