Abstract:
Two companies, MRL and Meridian Diagnostics, have developed Food and Drug Administration-approved herpes simplex virus type 1 type-specific enzyme immunoassays. The sensitivity, specificity, and overall testing efficiency of these assays were 98.2, 93.8, and 96.6% for MRL and 98.8, 99.0, and 98.1% for Meridian, making both of these kits suitable for use in the clinical lab.
