A 13-day-old lowland gorilla died from a generalized herpesvirus infection shortly after the onset of clinical signs. The pathologic-anatomical findings were compatible with those described for generalized herpes simplex infection in the human neonate. Electron microscopic examination of lung tissue revealed the presence of herpesvirus which was identified with the fluorescent antibody technique as Herpes simplex virus type I. Tests with related sera of the herpes group (varicella, herpesvirus-B) revealed no specific immunoflourescence.
一只13天大的低地大猩猩在出现临床症状后不久死于全身性疱疹病毒感染。病理解剖学发现与人类新生儿全身性单纯疱疹感染所描述的相符。对肺组织进行电子显微镜检查发现了疱疹病毒,通过荧光抗体技术鉴定为I型单纯疱疹病毒。用疱疹病毒组相关血清(水痘、B型疱疹病毒)检测未发现特异性免疫荧光。
