ABSTRACT For 93 stored serum samples tested by HerpeSelect2 and the Euroimmun enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of herpes simplex virus type 2-specific immunoglobulin G antibodies, the concordance of positive and negative results was 100%. Moreover, all the results that were equivocal by HerpeSelect2 (negative by Euroimmun) were confirmed as being negative by a Western blot assay.
