A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for the rapid detection and typing of molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) was developed. The target DNA was a 393 base pair (bp) segment, which is present in the coding region of the MCV p43K gene product. Release of MCV DNA from skin lesions was performed by us

Pemphigus is an autoimmune disease where both endogenous (genetic) and exogenous (environmental) factors play a part. Viral infections, in particular herpesvirus infections, have been identified as a possible triggering factor for pemphigus. In this study, using the polymerase chain reaction, we stu
A series of experiments was carried out using a mouse HSV-1 encephalitis model for detecting HSV-DNA in CSF by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The results were correlated with the time period after corneal inoculation, clinical signs and symptoms, and progression of infection in brain tissue (a
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) reactivation without cutaneous vesicles (zoster sine herpete) has been demonstrated in 8 to 25% of patients with acute peripheral facial palsy (APFP) by serological methods. To make an early diagnosis of zoster sine herpete, VZV DNA in oropharyngeal swabs from patients w
