| الوصف: | Aim: Assess the prevalence of Herpes Simplex Type 2 (HSV-2) infections in pregnant women in a tertiary care hospital. Methods: There were a total of one hundred pregnant women that participated in this research. 5 ml blood samples were obtained using vein puncture and placed in a sterile plain tube. These samples were then allowed to clot for 30 minutes before being centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 5 minutes. Each of the resulting serums was placed in a fresh vial, given a label, and kept at a temperature of -20 degrees Celsius until it was time for the ELISA analysis. In order to determine whether or not the serum included HSV-2 IgG antibodies, an HSV-2 specific IgG ELISA test kit was used. Results: In this research, 100 pregnant women were recruited. HSV-2 infection was found in 40% of people. The largest infected group was pregnant women under the age of 25, with 57.14 percent infected, and the lowest in older age groups. Housewives had the greatest prevalence (71.79 percent), followed by private workers (32%), while government employees had the lowest seroprevalence (8.33 percent). The relationship between viral infection and employment was statistically significant (p≤ 0.05). |
