✦ Synopsis


The spontaneous and PHA induced levels of interferon were measured in peripheral blood leucocyte cultures of twenty-eight individuals diagnosed as positive for herpes genitalis, and in a group of control subjects. As reported by Cunningham and Merigan [1983] for herpes labialis, leucocytes from individuals with herpes genitalis produced low levels of interferon spontaneously; however, similar results were found for individuals within the control population. No statistically significant difference could be found for PHA induced interferon levels, antigen induced interferon levels, or helper/suppressor cell ratios between the herpes genitalis population and control population. Our results indicate that interferon does not play a major role in the latency or recurrence of herpes genitalis.
