[Antibody titer levels and the presence of herpes simplex virus antibodies in the serum in relation to gender].
We examined 600 serum samples from female patients for the presence of antibodies to herpes simplex virus (RVK). 293 serum samples belonged to males and 291 to females, while in 25 carcinoma of female genital organs (cervix, endometrium, ovarium) was verified. Antibodies to HSV were found in 117 samples of which 68 were taken from females, 29 from males. Out of 25 malignant cases 20 were positive to HSV antibodies. In the majority of samples only so called "anamnestic titre" 1:8 was proven while higher titres were more frequently found in females. Titre of 1:16 was detected in 27 females compared with 11 in males. Titre of 1:64 was detected only in 2 females. Of 25 female serum samples with malignant precesses in genital organs 20 were positive, titres being above 1:8 except in 4 cases.
