Abstract
Accurate diagnosis of infections caused by Herpes family viruses has become increasingly important in recent years. In part, this is because effective antiviral chemotherapy is now available for some herpes viruses, but equally important is the impact accurate diagnosis has on reducing dosages of immunosuppressive drugs and on implementing appropriate infection control procedures to prevent nosocomial spread of viral diseases.
