[Carrier status of herpes viridae in pregnant women]

282 cervical swab specimens and serum samples collected from pregnant women were used for virological studies in order to investigate the carrier status in herpes viridae and antibody. Seven isolates were obtained with a positive rate of 2.48%. According to the characteristics of cytopathology effects on the diploid cells (2BS), pathogenicity in the hosts and electron micrographic findings, these 7 isolates belonged to herpes viridae. The results of neutralization test, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay blocking test and indirect immunofluorescence tests against HCMV-specific serum and standard HCMV AD-169, HSV-ISm44, HSV-IIG indicated that all these 7 viruses were HCMV. No other viral members of herpes viridae were detected in this study.
