Reproductive tissues from 10 recent male cadavers were examined. Herpesvirus type 2 was isolated from testes, seminal vesicle, or both in 4 cases. This is the first report of the isolation of herpesvirus type 2 from human seminal vesicular tissue. The data support previous evidence that herpesvirus type 2 can be isolated from the reproductive tissues of males without active or prior infection and suggest that these tissues may serve as a reservoir for transmission of this virus. The study also documents, for the first time, the ability to culture herpesvirus type 2 in organ explants from cadaveric reproductive tissues with the subsequent release of infectious virus.
对10具近期男性尸体的生殖组织进行了检查。在4例中，从睾丸、精囊或两者中分离出了2型疱疹病毒。这是首次从人类精囊组织中分离出2型疱疹病毒的报告。这些数据支持了之前的证据，即2型疱疹病毒可以从没有活动性或既往感染的男性生殖组织中分离出来，并表明这些组织可能是该病毒传播的储存库。该研究还首次记录了在尸体生殖组织的器官外植体中培养2型疱疹病毒并随后释放出传染性病毒的能力。
