Abstract

Virological and serological studies were carried out prospectively to evaluate the possible activation of human herpesvirus‐6 (HHV‐6) in 50 infants and children with acute measles by isolation of HHV‐6 from peripheral blood and by determining neutralizing antibodies to the virus. All but 5 patients (90%) were seropositive to HHV‐6 in the acute stage of measles and 18 (40%) had a significant increase in HHV‐6 antibody titers thereafter, whereas only 2 of 27 patients who were initially seropositive to Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) viral capsid antigen (VCA) had a significant rise in antibody titers to EBV VCA. Among 18 patients with a significant increase in HHV‐6 titers, the virus was isolated from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of three patients in the early convalescent stage of measles. These results indicate that activation of HHV‐6 may occur frequently a few weeks after primary infection with the measles virus. © 1992 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract A total of 234 sera from healthy Malaysians of diverse ethnic origins were tested for antibody to the Z29 and prototype GS strains of HHV‐6. The prevalence in the races ranged from 58 to 80% for the GS strain and 49 to 76% for the Z29 strain. The highest prevalence was in Malays with se
