The determination of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection using a PCR assay is one of the
most commonly requested tests for analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), although only a …

We have introduced a time-resolved fluorometry (TRF)-based microwell hybridization assay
for PCR products in detection of herpes simplex virus (HSV) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) …

Most patients with herpes simplex virus (HSV) central nervous system (CNS) infection have
abnormal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) indices. Therefore, we implemented screening criteria …

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests that detect herpes simplex virus (HSV) DNA in
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are increasingly used to diagnose central nervous system (CNS) …

Central nervous system infection due to herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a medical emergency
and requires rapid diagnosis and initiation of therapy. In this study, we compared a routine …

Until recently, the laboratory diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) infections with
herpes simplex virus (HSV) has been limited by poor sensitivity and/or specificity. We …

A molecular assay for the detection of herpes simplex virus (HSV), including a novel,
nonradioactive hybridization technique, was evaluated with a total of 123 cerebrospinal fluid …

In a two‐centre study, the routine DNA preparation and PCR amplification protocols were
compared for herpes simplex virus (HSV) detection in cerebrospinal fluids (CSFs) of 43 …

The performance of 3 analyte-specific reagents (ASRs), viz Cepheid herpes simplex virus
(HSV) Typing Primer Probe set (CD), Eragen MultiCode-Rtx HSV-1/2 kit primer mix (ER) …

Objective To determine the clinical, neurologic, and laboratory characteristics of patients
