متن کاملHuman herpesvirus 6 infection and Kawasaki disease.
Eighteen of a total of 22 serum specimens (81.8%) from patients with Kawasaki disease were positive for immunoglobulin G or M antibodies to human herpesvirus 6, whereas 10 of 16 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (62.5%) were seropositive. Additionally, increased geometric mean antibody titers of immunoglobulin G were shown in these patients. These results suggest that the status of human he...
متن کاملChromosomal integration of human herpesvirus 6 is the major mode of congenital human herpesvirus 6 infection.
OBJECTIVE We examined the frequency and characteristics of chromosomally integrated human herpesvirus 6 among congenitally infected children. METHODS Infants with and without congenital human herpesvirus 6 infection were prospectively monitored. Cord blood mononuclear cell, peripheral blood mononuclear cell, saliva, urine, and hair follicle samples were examined for human herpesvirus 6 DNA. H...
