Herpes simplex virus type 2 is considered by many venereologists as the predominant serotype among those patients suffering from genital herpes. However, identification of genital isolates obtained from 16 through 20, and 31 through 40 year old individuals among our female patient population shows a predominance of HSV-1 infections. These data suggest that the "above the waist"-"below the waist" epidemiologic patterns commonly ascribed to reflect a prevalence of HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections respectively, may no longer be appropriate in certain patient populations.
许多性病学家认为,2型单纯疱疹病毒是生殖器疱疹患者中主要的血清型。然而,对我们女性患者群体中16至20岁以及31至40岁个体的生殖器分离株进行鉴定后发现,HSV-1感染占主导地位。这些数据表明,通常认为分别反映HSV-1和HSV-2感染患病率的“腰部以上”和“腰部以下”的流行病学模式,在某些患者群体中可能不再适用。
