Herpesvirus type2: study of semen in male subjects with recurrent infections
J Urol.
1978 Oct.
Abstract
Semen from 30 healthy male subjects with recurrent infections with herpesvirus type 2 was obtained when subjects were free of lesions and surveyed by tissue culture for an infectious virus in an attempt to elucidate the transmission of this disease. Inclusion bodies compatible with herpesvirus were found in tissue cultures of semen from 2 participants but an infectious virus could not be cultured directly from any sample. The data suggest that herpevirus type 2 is not ubiquitous in semen of male subjects with recurrent genital infections. The possible role of seminal inhibitors and a defective virus in causing the observed results is discussed, as are the current theories of herpesvirus type 2 transmission.
