Abstract
Using in situ hybridization, we demonstrated that latent herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) gene expression is prevalent in human adult nodose ganglia. This suggests that infection of gastrointestinal sensory nerves, probably through swallowed virus-laden oral secretions, occurs commonly and that HSV-1 reactivating from this site may play a role in recurrent gastrointestinal disorders.Entities:
