| a prospective study of herpes simplex virus infection in a defined population in houston, texas. | a seroepidemiologic study was conducted to determine the incidence of antibodies to herpes simplex virus in a population of middle-class caucasian women. in utero exposure to diethylstilbestrol did not influence the frequency of herpes simplex virus infection. the frequency of infection increased with age and number of sex partners and a 50% increase in incidence of herpes simplex virus type 2 infection was noted during the 4-year period of the study. subclinical herpes simplex virus type 2 infe ... | 1985 | 2983557 |
| the incidence of oral herpes simplex virus infection in patients undergoing cancer chemotherapy. | oral lesions in twenty-nine immunocompromised patients were evaluated for the incidence of herpes simplex virus (hsv) infections during either cancer chemotherapy or cancer chemotherapy plus bone marrow transplantation (bmt). patients' hsv antibody titers were not determined, and positive diagnoses were based solely on the results of viral cultures. fourteen patients (48%) were found to have herpetic infections, which is comparable with incidence rates of 50% to 90% in antibody-positive patients ... | 1986 | 3010211 |

| epidemiological studies relating genital herpetic infection to cervical carcinoma. | epidemiological studies relating genital herpetic infection to cervical carcinoma are reviewed. the high frequency of herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) antibodies in young women (21 years or younger) with cervical carcinoma in situ and in women with dysplasia or carcinoma in situ, matched for various sexual attributes to control women, provide support for a causal relation. however, various laboratory, histopathological, and statistical problems associated with all epidemiological studies do ... | 1974 | 4366985 |
| human cytomegalovirus a sequence and ul144 variability in strains from infected children. | human cytomegalovirus (hcmv) displays genetic polymorphisms. this variability may contribute to strain-specific tissue tropism and disease expression in hcmv-infected humans. to determine strain variability in a sequence and ul144 gene regions, 51 low-passage isolates from 44 hcmv-infected children were studied. isolates were obtained from 28 healthy children attending child care centers in iowa and from 16 congenitally infected infants born in texas. isolates demonstrated substantial nucleotide ... | 2001 | 11505449 |
