    Summary

    Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) is highly prevalent in Algiers, with most individuals infected by age 15. HSV type 2 (HSV2) antibodies were significantly more common in patients with genital disorders.

    Area of Science:

    • Virology
    • Immunology
    • Epidemiology

    Context:

    • Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections represent a significant global health concern.
    • Understanding HSV prevalence is crucial for public health strategies, particularly in diverse geographic regions like Algiers.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the seroprevalence of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) and type 2 (HSV2) antibodies in the population of Algiers.
    • To assess the correlation between HSV2 antibodies and the presence of genital disorders.

    Summary:

    • HSV1 antibodies are acquired early in childhood, with 81.25% seropositivity by age 15 in the Algiers population.
    • A statistically significant higher rate of HSV2 antibodies was observed in patients presenting with genital disorders compared to a control group (p < 0.001).
