Detailed description
The positive person indicates that the possibility of herpes simplex virus type II infection in the near future is high. Genital herpes is mainly caused by HSV-2 infection, which is one of the common sexually transmitted diseases. Typical skin lesions are blisters, pustules, ulcers and erosions at the genital area. Serological antibody test (including IgM antibody and IgG antibody test) has a certain sensitivity and specificity, which is not only applicable to patients with symptoms, but also can detect patients without skin lesions and symptoms.
IgM exists in the form of pentamer, and its relative molecular weight is large. It is not easy to pass through the blood-brain barrier and placental barrier. It first appears after the human body is infected with HSV, and it can last for about 8 weeks. However, the antibody is often not found in patients with latent infection and asymptomatic patients.
