From 2001 to 2023, 17 (14%) of 120 neonates with confirmed herpes simplex virus infection tested positive for herpes simplex virus by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from only mucosal sites without a clinical mucosal lesion. Whether mucosal PCR positivity reflects early infection that may lead to recognizable disease, transient colonization, or a false-positive PCR result remains a clinical conundrum and warrants further study.
从 2001 年到 2023 年，在 120 例确诊单纯疱疹病毒感染的新生儿中，有 17 例（14%）仅从黏膜部位通过聚合酶链反应（PCR）检测到单纯疱疹病毒阳性，而这些新生儿没有临床黏膜病变。黏膜 PCR 阳性是否反映了可能导致可识别疾病、短暂定植或假阳性 PCR 结果的早期感染，这仍然是一个临床难题，需要进一步研究。
