[Evolution of laboratory technics in the detection of herpes simplex virus infections]

In this report we proved that all of three methods for laboratory diagnosis of HSV infections which we used, have approximately the same degree of sensibility. Even though there is no statistically significant differences among sensibility of chosen methods, we think that IF test by monoclonal antibodies is the most suitable method for the routine work, in consideration of the high sensibility, typical specificity and fast results.
