A 50-year-old male without relevant past history was admitted because of fever lasting for 23 days. Physical examination showed hepatomegaly and splenomegaly without other findings. Laboratory studies only revealed mildly abnormal hepatic enzymes. The remaining investigations (markers, serologies, antinuclear antibodies, blood and urine cultures) were negative. Chest and abdomen X-ray films were normal. In abdominal echogram a homogeneous liver without space occupying lesions was seen, and computed tomography disclosed enlarged liver, spleen and lymph nodes. Needle hepatic biopsy was reported as showing reactive hepatitis. Although clinically meningeal antibody seroconversions were not found, DNA chains of cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, hepatitis B virus and herpes virus simplex were investigated with the in situ hybridisation technique. Its result was a strongly positive hybridisation for herpes virus and negative for the other investigated viruses.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D006561 Herpes Simplex A group of acute infections caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 or type 2 that is characterized by the development of one or more small fluid-filled vesicles with a raised erythematous base on the skin or mucous membrane. It occurs as a primary infection or recurs due to a reactivation of a latent infection. (Dorland, 27th ed.) Herpes Simplex Virus Infection
