title: [Virological diagnosis of herpes simplex virus infections (author's transl)].
abstract: Culturing herpes simplex virus is rapid and economic for establishing an etiological diagnosis. Serological tests are only of limited value. Differentiation of type I and type II strains is necessary in the course of therapeutic studies. Analysis of the herpes simplex virus genom with restriction enzymes offers a novel tool for epidemiological and clinical investigations.
