Abstract

The purpose of the current study was to describe the prevalence of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2) in northeastern Bulgaria. From January 2019 to December 2021, we tested 1493 samples for anti-HSV-1 IgG and 817 samples for anti-HSV-2 IgG antibodies in the Virology Laboratory, "St. Marina" University Hospital, Varna, Bulgaria. HSV-1 was considerably more widespread, with an overall seroprevalence of 73.3% (95% CI: 71.0-75.5%), than HSV-2 infection, which showed a seropositive rate of 10.0% (95% CI: 8.1-12.4%). Age was the most significant risk factor for both infections, while gender had no role in herpes simplex seropositivity.

2019-2021年保加利亚东北部瓦尔纳一项医院研究的单纯疱疹病毒1型和2型的血清流行率数据。

本研究的目的是描述保加利亚东北部单纯疱疹病毒1型（HSV-1）和2型（HSV-2）的流行情况。从2019年1月到2021年12月，我们在保加利亚瓦尔纳“圣玛丽娜”大学医院病毒学实验室检测了1493份抗HSV-1 IgG样本和817份抗HSV-2 IgG抗体样本。HSV-1比HSV-2感染更为广泛，总血清阳性率为73.3%（95%可信区间：71.0-75.5%），HSV-2感染显示出10.0%的血清阳性率（95%置信区间：8.1-12.4%）。年龄是两种感染的最重要风险因素，而性别在单纯疱疹血清阳性中没有作用。
