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
