Seroprevalence of Herpes Simplex Virus type-1antibodies (IgM,IgG) in smokers in Kirkuk city-Iraq
Main Article Content
Abstract
Herpes Simplex Virus type-1 (HSV-1) is classified in the α-herpes virus group of the Herpesviridae and HSV-1 infections are very common in the human population. The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of anti-herpes simplex virus type-1 IgM and anti-herpes simplex virus type-1 IgG among smokers and nonsmokers. In the current study, A total of one hundred two serum samples from males were collected (70 smokers and 32 nonsmokers), there ages were ranged between 20- 50 year; this study which was done during the period between September 2014 to the January 2015. All obtained sera samples from all persons were tested using ELISA method for determine of Herpes simplex virus type-1 antibodies. Results in this study showed that the herpes simplex virus type-1 IgM seropositivity among smoker persons was 24 (34.3%). In addition, the result revealed that the percentage rate of the herpes simplex virus type-1 IgG among smokers was 61(87.1%). There was a significant effect of smoking on the seroprevalence of Herpes simplex virus type-1 antibodies (IgM , IgG).
