Prevalence of several herpesviruses and human papillomavirus in acute apical abscesses

Aim To investigate and compare the radiographic size of acute apical abscess lesions for the presence of Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), human herpesvirus‐6 (HHV‐6) and human papillomaviruses (HPV) DNA by means of the real‐time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method.

Description
Summary:Aim To investigate and compare the radiographic size of acute apical abscess lesions for the presence of Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), human herpesvirus‐6 (HHV‐6) and human papillomaviruses (HPV) DNA by means of the real‐time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Methodology According to the radiographic size of acute apical abscess lesions, 11 lesions were categorized as large (≥5 mm) and 10 lesions as small (
