Re: Acyclovir and HERPES in pregnancyFrom: Bert Gold (bgold@itsa.ucsf.EDU)Wed Apr 10 18:50:29 1996
Happy to share my private parts with the list: Harvard Faculty Practice itself checked for Zoster in '84 when I had an outbreak, and the Massachusetts state lab checked then too (as backup). Also, Roche looked for Zoster antibodies, and, lo and behold, I don't apparently have any, so far as they could tell... So, back to the drawing board. My own thoughts, having done a good bit of research on EBV and CMV myself, and having had telephone conversations with Bernard Roizman in Chicago about it AND having been aware of the work on the herpes related Kaposi's Sarcoma Virus, (KSHV) and knowing all the stuff going on with Herpesvirus 6 in Israel, leads me to the conclusion that I have somekinda herpes-like (or actually herpes) virus, which ain't been identified yet.... Next time I get an outbreak, anybody wanna culture it? (Or even just explain how to begin....; You see, it's just not that easy to do...)

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
