DNA microarray technology for simultaneous detection and species identification of seven human herpes viruses

摘要

Human herpes viruses, particularly herpes simplex vims types 1 and 2 (HSV-I, HSV-2), varicella zoster virus (VZV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), cytomegalovirus (CM V), and human herpes virus 6 types A and B (HHV-6A, HHV-6B), are common pathogens in clinical practice. The protean manifestations of herpes-mediated infections make early diagnosis of great importance. However, the clinical signs and symptoms resulting from infection are often nonspecific and indistinguishable from other viral infections.
