Objective: This study aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics, pristine diagnosis and the effect of therapy of Herpes simplex virus encephalitis (HSE) in children and discuss the factors influencing the prognosis and in pristine diagnosis. Method: Thirty-six patients were enrolled into this study if they were diagnosed as having encephalitis and also had positive polymerase chain reaction...

A multi-marker nuclear genotyping approach was performed on larval and adult specimens of Anisakis spp. (N = 689) collected from fish and cetaceans in allopatric and sympatric areas of the two species Anisakis pegreffii and Anisakis simplex (s. s.), in order to: (1) identify specimens belonging to the parental taxa by using nuclear markers (allozymes loci) and sequence analysis of a new diagnos...

PURPOSE The present study reports a case of encephalitis due to herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1), following surgical manipulation of the site of a primary infection. METHODS Herpes simplex virus-1 infection was confirmed by CSF PCR and DNA sequencing. RESULTS The patient was an 11-year-old girl who required temporal lobe surgery for epilepsy. She had meningoencephalitis due to HSV at the age ...

要 旨 単 純 ヘ ル ペ ス ウ イ ル ス1型(HSV-1)お よ び2型(HSV-2)の 遺 伝 子 を 同時 に検 出 す るmultiplex real-time PCR法 を 開発 し た.

Herpetic keratitis which is resulted from herpes simplex virus type I, is considered the most common cause of corneal blindness that needs being diagnosed and treated in order to prevent irreversible eye effects. The best method to diagnose it is molecular method which has high sensitivity and exclusivity. The current study was done on 25 eye samples collected from patients referred to the Feyz...

Background: Meat species adulteration has become a problem of concern. This study aimed to compare two previously published multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) methods for meat species authentication.  Methods: The primers used in the first multiplex PCR involved species-specific reverse primer for sheep, goat, cattle, pig, and donkey with universal forward primer. In the second multiple...

background: recent research on several dna fragments covering open reading frames (orf) 1-37 shows a new genetic marker in orf 6 which is specific for differentiating wild-type varicella-zoster virus (vzv) strains from oka varicella vaccine strain. on the other hand, herpes simplex virus (hsv) genome analysis by restriction enzymes is used to differentiate types one and two of the virus and eve...

Real-time PCR is a powerful tool for the detection and typing of herpes simplex virus (HSV). HSV types 1 and 2 can be distinguished by using the differences in the melting temperatures (T(m)s) of the hybridization probes. The efficacy of T(m) profiling with low DNA concentrations was evaluated in this study.
