Abstract
The incidence and antibody titers to herpes simplex virus (HSV) were significantly higher in patients with psychotic depression as compared to normal controls. The cell-mediated immunity to HSV in psychotic depression was similar to that observed after acute HSV infection or recurrence. An association between HSV infection and psychotic depression, was suggested.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
