Abstract
Indírect immuno-fluorescence revealed antibodies against Herpesvirus hominis in 80% of 485 serum specimens collected during May, June and July 1980 from inhabitants of São Paulo City, state of São Paulo, Brazil. The sera from donors in the 1-4 years age group showed 38% of positivity while 90% was found in the 9-14 year group. The results are similar to those from another study conducted in the same city in 1962 and from some studies conducted in other
countries.
