In a 4 year period, 137 specimens with requests for isolation of herpesvirus from the genital tracts of 125 female patients were received. Included in these specimens were 19 amniotic fluid samples from 12 pregnant patients with known genital herpesvirus infection. Fifty-four positive isolations were obtained from lower genital tract sites in 46 patients. The greatest percentage of positive isolations were from the vulva. Only 4 of 22 specimens from cervical lesions were positive for virus isolation; 3 of these isolates (from 3 pregnant patients) were cytomegalovirus strains. The number of specimens and the number of positive isolations from each genital tract site are presented along with a discussion of the value of genital tract viral isolations. Particular reference is made to the number of patients with cervical cytologic atypia related to herpesvirus infection. |
