Identification of herpesvirus in tissue samples can be performed using various techniques. Histopathology with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining can reveal the characteristic cytopathic effects. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) can be used to detect viral antigens using specific antibodies. In situ hybridization (ISH) and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) are molecular techniques that can detect viral DNA within tissue sections.
