The laboratory diagnosis of herpes has recently ranked among the most topical problems of modem public health care since the role of the above infection, as other TORCH-group infections, is constantly increasing in the development of maternal and infant diseases. For the laboratory diagnosis of herpes, ZAO "EKOlab" has proposed the enzyme immunoassay systems "EIA-HSV-1-IgG", "EIA-HSV-2-IgG", and "EIA-HSV-1,2-IgM" that allow for making type-specific diagnosis of herpes and for determining the changes in IgG antibody titers. The specific and sensitivity of these test systems are shown. The use of the latter has shown a large number of persons with high and very high IgG antibodies to HSV, which may be regarded as grounds for the necessity of mandatory regulatory laboratory study for the presence and changes of the titer of the above antibodies of this population group in addition to the well known risk groups.
