The EUROArray HSV1/2 VZV from EUROIMMUN provides direct detection and differentiation of herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV-2) and type 2 (HSV-2) and varicella zoster virus (VZV) from skin, mouth or genital swabs. It enables simple and fast distinction between the pathogens, especially in cases that are difficult to tell apart clinically. HSV-1 and HSV-2 are causative agents of herpes labialis (cold sores, predominantly HSV-1) and herpes genitalis (predominantly HSV-2), in rare cases also herpes encephalitis or herpes neonatorum. Infections persist lifelong, alternating between asymptomatic and acute infectious phases.
