Human herpesvirus-6 infections.
HHV-6 is ubiquitous in the community, appears to be acquired early in life, and has been proved to cause the clinical syndrome of exanthem subitum, and rarely to cause encephalitis. Like other herpesviruses, HHV-6 is capable of establishing latent infection and reactivating under a variety of stimuli. Improved diagnostic techniques have led to increased recognition of HHV-6 in the presence of m...
متن کاملProspective study of human herpesvirus 6, human herpesvirus 7, and cytomegalovirus infections in human immunodeficiency virus-positive patients.
Blood samples from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients were monitored for cytomegalovirus (CMV), human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), and HHV-7 by PCR. We detected CMV in 17% of the patients, HHV-6 in 6%, and HHV-7 in 3%. The viral loads of CMV were significantly higher than those of HHV-6 (P = 0.007) or HHV-7 (P = 0.01). Detection of CMV and HHV-6 was associated with low and high CD4 ...
متن کاملUse of immunoglobulin G antibody avidity for differentiation of primary human herpesvirus 6 and 7 infections.
A human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) indirect immunofluorescence antibody avidity test was developed and used with an existing human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) antibody avidity test to detect and distinguish low-avidity antibodies to HHV-6 and HHV-7 and hence the respective primary infections. With sera from 269 British children aged 0 to 179 weeks, the tests showed that most (10 of 98 serum samples [13%])...
متن کاملSeroprevalence of human herpesvirus 6 and 7 infections in the Thai population.
Seroprevalence of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and 7 (HHV-7) was estimated in the Thai population using indirect immunofluorescence assay to determine serum antibodies to HHV-6 and HHV-7. A total of 333 serum samples obtained from umbilical cord blood and venous blood of healthy persons at Siriraj Hospital and Krabi Hospital during 1990-1993 were investigated. Of 73 infants aged 0-1 month, 73% a...
متن کاملMolecular biology and clinical associations of Roseoloviruses human herpesvirus 6 and human herpesvirus 7.
Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) are members of the Roseolovirus genus within the Betaherpesvirinae subfamily. HHV-6 and HHV-7 primary infection occurs in early childhood and causes short febrile diseases, sometimes associated with cutaneous rash (exanthem subitum). Both HHV-6 and HHV-7 are highly prevalent in the healthy population, establish latency in macrophages a...
