Quick test PROFICHECK™ The HSV-II IgM/IgG test is a rapid serological immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of antibodies (IgG and IgM) against herpes simplex virus type II (HSV-II) in human whole blood, serum or plasma samples, which aids in the diagnosis of HSV-II.

The herpes simplex virus (HSV) belongs to the alpha-virus subfamily of the Herpesviridae family. The two closely related viruses are designated as HSV types 1 and 2. HSV-1 is the main cause of orolabial infection (gingivostomatitis or cold sores), whilst HSV-2 is the main cause of genital infection. However, both viruses can affect any part of the body. There are several methods for diagnosing infections caused by HSV. Serology can detect both current and past HSV infections. It is also used in studies of the epidemiology of HSV and is very useful in non-standard clinical situations. The antibody response to HSV glycoprotein G (gG) is highly specific, and gG-based tests can accurately determine whether individuals have been infected with HSV-1 in the past. HSV-1 is responsible for the majority of cases of oral-facial herpes and herpetic encephalitis. The presence of IgG antibodies to HSV-1 in blood serum indicates a previous infection. A significant increase in the level of HSV-1 IgM antibodies indicates reactivation of the corresponding herpes simplex virus or a recent infection.

Quick test PROFICHECK™ Herpes-2 IgG/IgM is a vital tool for the diagnosis of sexually transmitted infections. This rapid test, manufactured by Jal Medical, is designed to detect antibodies to the herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), which is the main cause of genital herpes. Thanks to its high sensitivity and ease of use, the rapid test PROFICHECK™ The Herpes-2 IgG test enables patients and healthcare professionals to monitor and diagnose this common but often stigmatised infection.

Quick test PROFICHECK™ Herpes-2 IgG/IgM is based on the latest advances in immunological analysis, combined with colloidal gold conjugate technology. This test has been carefully designed to detect antibodies to HSV-2 in human samples with exceptional accuracy.

Quick test PROFICHECK™ Herpes-2 IgG/IgM is not only a valuable resource for healthcare professionals, but also for individuals seeking confidential and accurate testing. It is an important tool for clinics, hospitals and private individuals, providing a safe and rapid way to detect an infection that affects millions of people worldwide.
