Typing of herpes simplex virus from human periodontium

Abstract: Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is frequently detected in gingival crevicular fluid and in gingival biopsies of periodontal lesions; however, the relative occurrence of HSV type 1 and 2 in periodontal specimens has not been established. This investigation used type-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect the presence of HSV-1 and HSV-2 in periodontal pocket samples from 26 patients who had previously been revealed to have periodontal HSV by PCR amplification of a gene shared by HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-1 was… Show more

“…When CMV was present, the copy numbers were low. The low prevalence and low copy number of CMV at periodontal sites in our patient population is consistent with the very low prevalence of CMV in chronic periodontitis (0%–0.3%) reported by others (Dawson et al, ; Nibali et al, ; Rotola et al, ) and questions the role of CMV in periodontal disease, despite the findings from several cross‐sectional studies indicating otherwise (Chalabi et al, ; Contreras & Slots, ; Grenier, Gagnon, & Grenier, ; Imbronito, Okuda, Maria de Freitas, Moreira Lotufo, & Nunes, ; Saygun, Kubar, Ozdemir, & Slots, ; Saygun, Yapar, Ozdemir, Kubar, & Slots, ; Slots, Kamma, & Sugar, ; Yapar, Saygun, Ozdemir, Kubar, & Sahin, ). It should be noted that a reason for the inconsistent prevalence of HHVs in periodontal sites described in the literature likely relates to the variability in the methodologies employed.…”

“…In our study, HSV-2 was not found to be statistically significant. Similar results were observed in the study by Contreras and Slots,[16] wherein presence of HSV-1 was seen in all the samples but HSV-2 was not detected in any of the samples. HSV-2 is usually transmitted through genital infection and is rarely found in the oral cavity.…”

“…In this study, EBV-1, HCMV, and HSV-2 have not shown any correlation with the clinical parameters of periodontal disease. However, studies conducted by Contreras and Slots et al .,[16] Ling et al .,[23] and Kamma et al .,[20] have found contradictory results.…”
