Herpes simplex virus type 1 antibody igg positive what does it mean

Herpes simplex virus IgG antibody positive generally indicates that the patient has been infected with herpes simplex virus in the past, which can also be understood as previous herpes simplex. Herpes simplex virus can cause herpes simplex, clinically characterized by clustered blisters, self-limiting, but prone to recurrent attacks. Herpes simplex virus is a double-stranded DNA virus, spherical, and divided into type I and type II according to different viral protein antigenicity. If the patient reproduces when the body's resistance is reduced, such as fatigue, alcoholism, poor rest, emotional stress, anxiety, or cold fever, and thus exhibits skin lesions, the test will show positive IgM antibodies to herpes simplex virus type 1 when the skin lesions appear.
