Herpes Simplex Virus Mistyping due to HSV-1 × HSV-2 Interspecies Recombination in Viral Gene Encoding Glycoprotein B

Herpes Simplex Virus Mistyping due to HSV-1 × HSV-2 Interspecies Recombination in Viral Gene Encoding Glycoprotein B

Human herpes simplex viruses (HSV) 1 and 2 are extremely common human pathogens with overlapping disease spectra. Infections due to HSV-1 and HSV-2 are distinguished in clinical settings using sequence-based “typing” assays. Here we describe a case of HSV mistyping caused by a previously undescribed...
