Herpes type-2 virus antibody status in groups of patients with neoplasm in Ibadan

B Adelusi et al. Afr J Med Med Sci. 1976 Dec.

Abstract

Various studies have associated Herpes Type-2 (HT-2) virus with carcinoma of the cervix, especially the squamous cell type. In the present study, prevalence of HT-2 virus antibodies was found to be significantly higher in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix than in cases with squamous cell carcinoma of sites other than the cervix, and other pelvic and extrapelvic malignancies (P less than 0.001). It was concluded that no association could be found between Herpes Type-2 virus and malignancies of sites other than the cervix.
