Detailed Description:
There is evidence that some of the symptoms of psychosis may be related to past infection with common viruses
Researchers are looking to recruit a total of 100 subjects with evidence in the past of exposure to at least 1 of 3 viruses The viruses include herpes type 1 HSV-1 which causes cold sores of the lip and has affected about 610 people in Vancouver herpes type 2 HSV-2 which causes genital sores and has affected less than 110 people in Vancouver and cytomegalovirus CMV which causes few symptoms but has affected 810 people in Vancouver People who have been infected with these viruses in the past develop antibodies in the blood The antibodies can be measured in blood and are a test of whether or not there was infection in the past and possibly affecting the symptoms of psychosis
