This review will delineate performance characteristics and limitations, as far as they are known, of the new glycoprotein G based, type specific HSV serologies. Several of these tests have been FDA approved in the United States for use in adults. With the departure of Gull/Meridian from the HSV serology market, it is important for clinicians to understand the sources and claims of the remaining type specific tests. Moreover, inaccurate tests using crude antigen preparations remain on the market. These tests are identified based on product insert information provided by company representatives.
本综述将阐述新型基于糖蛋白G的单纯疱疹病毒(HSV)型特异性血清学检测的性能特征及已知局限性。其中几项检测已获美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)批准用于成人。随着Gull/Meridian退出HSV血清学检测市场,临床医生了解其余型特异性检测的来源及声称内容非常重要。此外,使用粗制抗原制剂的不准确检测仍在市场上存在。这些检测是根据公司代表提供的产品说明书信息来识别的。
