Summary
Peripheral blood samples from 52 women, including 16 with herpes genitalis and 36 healthy persons, were studied to enumerate subpopulations of lymphocytes. It was found that the mean percentage of ‘active’ T lymphocytes was significantly less in the patients with herpes genitalis than in the controls.
