Abstract
Asymptomatic genital Herpesvirus hominis (HVH) infection in a group of 100 pregnant women with normal and high risk pregnancy was examined. Vaginal and cervical HVH shedding was diagnosed by the method of immunofluorescence. The results of cervical and vaginal swabs taken from the same patients, showed that in both groups of pregnant women examined, the presence of HVH infection in the vagina and cervix was not always simultaneous. Asymptomatic vaginal HVH type 1 infection was found more often in high risk pregnancy, and the difference in reference to the normal pregnancy was statistically significant. Asymptomatic cervical infection was more caused of HVH type 2 both in normal and high risk pregnancy.
