Abstract
The West of Scotland Specialist Virology Centre processes 99% of all herpes simplex virus culture samples in the region. All genital samples of herpes simplex processed between 1 January 1986 and 31 December 2000 were reviewed for source of referral, patient's sex and age (stratified into seven bands: ≤20, 21-25, 26-30, 31-35, 36-40, 41-45, and >45 years), and the type of virus isolated.Keywords
