Human Herpesviruses 6 and 7
The identification of human herpesvirus (HHV) 6 (HHV-6) and 7 (HHV-7) was first reported in 1986 and 1990, respectively. HHV-6 was isolated initially from the blood of several immunodeficient adults, including some with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) (1). The existence of HHV-7 was first revealed in the blood of a healthy, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-negative adult (2). Extens...
متن کاملHuman herpesviruses 6 and 7 in solid organ transplant recipients.
The impact of cytomegalovirus, a member of the beta-herpesvirus subgroup of the Herpesviridae, on patients who have undergone transplantation cannot be overstated. However, in the last 15 years, 2 additional members of the human beta-herpesvirus family have been discovered: human herpesviruses 6 and 7 (HHV-6 and HHV-7). The impact of HHV-6 and HHV-7 is assessed, as is the well-being of transpla...
متن کاملHuman herpesviruses 6 and 7 in cervixes of pregnant women.
We looked for human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and HHV-7 genomes in the cervixes of pregnant women in the late stages of their pregnancies. Of 72 samples collected with cervical swabs and amplified by nested PCR, we found that 14 (19.4%) and 2 (2.7%) contained detectable HHV-6 and HHV-7 genomes, respectively. The two samples in which HHV-7 DNA was detected also contained HHV-6 genomes. Hybridization...
متن کاملSensitive method for detection of human herpesviruses 6 and 7 in saliva collected in field studies.
To facilitate studies of the epidemiology and natural history of human herpesviruses 6 and 7 in infants, a practical method for collecting and quantifying the DNA of these viruses was developed. Saliva was collected using small strips of filter paper, and virus was detected using a real-time quantitative fluorescent-probe PCR assay. The sensitivity and specificity of this method even after prol...
متن کاملHuman Herpesviruses 6 and 7 and Central Nervous System Infection in Children1
The role and frequency of human herpesviruses (HHV)-6 and -7 in central nervous system (CNS) diseases of children are unclear. Cerebrospinal fluid samples from 245 pediatric patients (median age 43 days), submitted for evaluations of possible sepsis or of neurologic symptoms, were tested for HHV-6 and HHV-7 DNA by polymerase chain reaction. HHV-6 DNA was found in 3 of 245 samples, and HHV-7 was...
