✦ Synopsis

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 bilaterally, 3/74 only on the left side, and 1/74 only on the right side. Although the PCRpositive rate was significantly higher in advanced age, the correlation between the PCR-positive rate and gender was unclear. Additionally, HSV-1 DNA was not detected in any of the 50 optic nerve samples.

The severity and recurrences of Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) infection depend on the type of the infectious agent (HSV-1 or HSV-2), which induces the necessity of a nonambiguous detecting typing. The commonly used capture ELISA technique has to be often supported by DNA analysis to confirm the detecti
