Abstract

Background: Considering the high prevalence and clinical importance of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection worldwide, we aimed to evaluate the seroprevalence of HSV-1 and HSV-2 in a population aged between 15 and 35 years in Mashhad, Iran.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 916 cases composed of 288 (31.4%) men and 628 (68.6%) women. Using ELISA method, the presence of IgM and IgG antibodies against HSV-1 and HSV-2 was assessed.

Results: Among the population studied, 681 (74.3%) cases were positive for anti-HSV antibodies, while 235 (25.7%) cases were negative. Moreover, no IgMs were found and all positive subjects had IgG antibodies. Age (p < 0.001), occupation (p < 0.001), education (p = 0.006), smoking (p = 0.029), and BMI (p = 0.004) demonstrated a significant association with HSV-1 and HSV-2 infection.

Conclusion: Our study indicates a high seroprevalence of HSV infection; however, there was no cases positive for IgM antibodies, suggesting the high prevalence of latent infection.

马什哈德市 15-35 岁人群中 1 型和 2 型单纯疱疹病毒的血清流行率。

背景：考虑到单纯疱疹病毒（HSV）感染在全球的高流行率和临床重要性，我们旨在评估伊朗马什哈德市 15 至 35 岁人群中 HSV-1 和 HSV-2 的血清流行率：这项横断面研究针对 916 例病例进行，其中男性 288 例（31.4%），女性 628 例（68.6%）。采用酶联免疫吸附法对 HSV-1 和 HSV-2 的 IgM 和 IgG 抗体进行了评估：结果：在所研究的人群中，681 例（74.3%）抗 HSV 抗体呈阳性，235 例（25.7%）呈阴性。此外，没有发现 IgMs，所有阳性者都有 IgG 抗体。年龄（p < 0.001）、职业（p < 0.001）、教育程度（p = 0.006）、吸烟（p = 0.029）和体重指数（p = 0.004）与 HSV-1 和 HSV-2 感染有显著相关性：我们的研究表明，HSV 感染的血清流行率很高；但是，没有 IgM 抗体阳性的病例，这表明潜伏感染的流行率很高。
