Seroprevalence of herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2 - data from a hospital-based study in Varna, northeastern Bulgaria, 2019-2021.
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.
