Abstract

The neutralizing antibodies to HSV-1 and HSV-2 were determined in the sera of 128 patients. Infection was detectable in nearly 100% of the cases in each of the three investigated groups (patients with carcinoma of the cervix, female patients with chronic recurrent HSV infection in the genital area and a control group without and history of HSV infection). The percentage of patients displaying HSV-2 antibodies in the group with carcinoma of the cervix (38%) is significantly higher than in the control group (12%). The results are compared with the findings of other authors and the possible causal significance of HSV in carcinogenesis is discussed.
