Recurrent acyclovir (ACV)-resistant (ACV-r) herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infections occurred in a patient with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, an X-linked recessive immunodeficiency syndrome composed of three clinical characteristics of immunodeficiency, thrombocytopenia, and an eczematous dermatit

## Abstract Isozyme analyses have been carried out to investigate the sites of integration of the herpes simplex type 2 (HSV‐2) thymidine kinase (TK) gene in biochemically transformed human [HeLa(BU25)/HSV‐2–6 Cl 4] cells. Extracts were prepared from He La (BU25)/HSV‐2–6 Cl 4 cells and from human—m
## Abstract ## Background Ganciclovir exhibits broad‐spectrum activity against DNA viruses such as cytomegaloviruses, herpes simplex viruses, varicella‐zoster virus, Epstein‐Barr virus and human herpes virus‐6. Ganciclovir is widely applied for anti‐herpetic treatment, cytomegalovirus prophylaxis
Drug-resistance of herpes simplex virus (HSV) is caused most frequently by mutation of the viral thymidine kinase (TK) gene. To elucidate the significance of detecting nucleotide changes of the TK gene for screening drug-resistant viruses, the frequency and variation of the genetic polymorphisms in
## Abstract We previously isolated an acyclovir (ACV)‐resistant herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV‐1), strain TAR, from a child with Wiskott‐Aldrich syndrome. An acyclovir‐sensitive HSV‐1, strain TAS, had been isolated from the same patient before the isolation of HSV‐1 TAR. The TK protein of ACV‐sen
