Document: With respect to dermal and genital disease caused by HSV, real-time HSV PCR assays have emerged as a more sensitive method to confirm HSV infection in clinical specimen obtained from genital ulcers and muco-cutaneous lesions [51] . Conventional PCR was not adapted for the detection of HSV in dermal or genital sources, because cell culture or direct staining techniques were relatively more sensitive for detecting HSV in these specimens. The main limiting factor in introducing real-time HSV PCR as the primary diagnostic tool in the laboratory is the cost of this assay. Moreover, the lack of uniform validation of the PCR assay as a diagnostic method for detecting HSV in clinical specimens other than cerebrospinal fluid has limited its availability in some laboratories.
