AB OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to study female genital herpes
from clinical and virological viewpoint as well as change of this
disease during these 22 years. METHODS: More than 500 female genital
herpes cases were included, who visited our outpatient clinic between
1971 and 1993. All patients were diagnosed by virus culture. These
patients were clinically classified as acute, recurrent and provoked
type. The correlation between clinical type and type of herpes simplex
virus (HSV) was studied. RESULTS: The number of patients markedly
increased around 1980 and has been steady since then. Recently recurrent
type has been gradually increasing. In acute (primary) cases, 61% was
caused by HSV-1 and remaining 39% by HSV-2. On the other hand, 90% of
recurrent type was caused by HSV-2. HSV type distribution changed during
this 22 years. In recent years, 45% of primary female genital herpes was
caused by HSV-2 where as in 1970s 35% had been caused by HSV-2.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: Prevalence of female genital herpes has been
increasing during these 22 years. Recently, genital herpes caused by
HSV-2 has been increasing, which may result in endemic extension of this
disease.
