RESIK, SONIA et al. Estudio serológico evolutivo a herpes simple y citomegalovirus en pacientes cubanos infectados con el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH). Rev Cubana Med Trop [online]. 1997, vol.49, n.2, pp. 113-119. ISSN 1561-3054.

The evolution serological response against the herpes simplex virus and citomegalovirus in HIV infected patients grouped into different stages of the disease was studied. Fluctuations in the TPG of antibodies were observed in these values in a cyclical way through time. There was a greater significant difference among the TPG of antibodies against HSV in the group of asymptomatic patients compared with AIDS patients and with those who died. There is a marked decrease in the TPG of antibodies against HSV and CMV approximately one year before the death of patients.
