## Abstract Herpes simplex virus infections may be diagnosed by several techniques, including conventional cell culture and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This prospective study compares the analytical performances and usefulness of an inβhouse realβtime PCR method and the Light Cycler HSV Β½
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) DNA was extracted from human trigeminal ganglia of 121 cadavers aged between 3 months and 94 years, and its PCR amplification was performed for the RL2 HSV-1 sequence using two pairs of primers. The HSV-1 DNA was detected in 74 of 121 patients (61%); 70/74 bilater
## Abstract The detection of human herpesvirus 6 (HHVβ6) DNA was carried out in throat swabs of adults and children by the polymerase chain reaction, and isolation of virus was also attempted from peripheral mononuclear cells. Although virus was isolated only from peripheral blood mononuclear cells
