| | 0050292 | Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Glycoprotein G-Specific Antibody, IgG by ELISA (HerpeSelect®)
| 0.89 IV or less: Negative - No significant level of detectable IgG antibody to HSV type 1 glycoprotein G.
0.90-1.10 IV: Equivocal - Questionable presence of IgG antibody to HSV type 1. Repeat testing in 10-14 days may be helpful.
1.11 IV or greater: Positive - IgG antibody to HSV type 1 glycoprotein G detected, which may indicate a current or past HSV infection.
| | 0050294 | Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 Glycoprotein G-Specific Antibody, IgG by ELISA (HerpeSelect®)
| 0.89 IV or less: Negative - No significant level of detectable IgG antibody to HSV type 2 glycoprotein G.
0.90-1.10 IV: Equivocal - Questionable presence of IgG antibody to HSV type 2. Repeat testing in 10-14 days may be helpful.
1.11 IV or greater: Positive - IgG antibody to HSV type 2 glycoprotein G detected, which may indicate a current or past HSV infection.

| Interpretive Data: |
Individuals infected with HSV may not exhibit detectable IgG antibody to glycoprotein G in the early stages of infection, and 5-10% of infections may occur with glycoprotein G deficient virus. Detection of antibody presence in these cases may only be possible using a non-type specific screening test.
