DESCRIPTION: The HSV 1 & 2 IgG Enzyme Immunoassay is a diagnostic test designed to detect IgG antibodies specific to Herpes Simplex Virus types 1 and 2 in serum or plasma. The presence of IgG antibodies indicates past exposure to the virus, providing insights into an individual's immune status. This assay helps clinicians determine whether a patient has been previously infected. The test is particularly useful for assessing the risk of transmission, guiding treatment decisions, and managing complications associated with herpes infections.
