Herpes test kit

Our kits are intended for in vitro diagnosis of HSV type 1 or 2 associated diseases, i.e. herpes labialis, herpes genitalis, herpesvirus gingivostomatitis, keratoconjunctivitis and herpesvirus-induced neurological complications (encephalitis, meningitis, inflammatory mono- and polyneuropathies). The diagnostic kit can be also utilized for differential diagnosis of neuroinfections, infections of eye and skin and exanthematous diseases. The test does not distinguish between HSV1 and HSV2. Primary infections with herpes simplex virus type 1 or 2 are usually asymptomatic, or else they reveal as non specific symptoms such as pharyngitis, specific gingivostomatitis, and oral or genital cutaneous and mucosal lesions. After primoinfection the virus persists in organism in a latent state and may be reactivated at any time, usually after some kind of a triggering event. Reactivation of the latent virus is associated with appearance of herpetic lesions at the site of virus entry.
