Abstract
BACKGROUD: Herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2) are common infectious agents worldwide and the primary infection of HSV remains a major problem in the pregnant women in China nowadays. At present, typing detection of HSV is mainly based on ELISA in China. METHODS: In this study, we evaluated the performance of a newly introduced chemiluminescent immunoassay assay (CLIA) for the determination of serum HSV-1 and HSV-2 immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies. RESULTS: The functional sensitivity of detecting HSV-1 and HSV-2 IgG were 0.7 Index and 0.6 Index, respectively. The repeatability and the total imprecision coefficient of variations were both below 10%, and the recoveries of these assays ranged from 90% to 110%. High concentration of hemoglobin, lipids, and bilirubin in samples did not affect the results. The infective rates of HSV-1 and HSV-2 were 919 (87.5%) and 169 (16.1%), respectively. HSV-1 seroprevalence was significantly higher than that of HSV-2 (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: CLIA is an excellent method for HSV-1 and HSV-2 IgG measurement and can be used as a routine screening test. The infective rate of HSV was pretty high among women before pregnancy or in the period of pregnancy in Beijing.
