Abstract

Saliva and peripheral blood samples from 20 healthy adults were examined for the presence of human herpesvirus‐6 (HHV‐6) DNA sequences using the polymerase chain reaction. Eighteen out of 20 whole saliva samples contained detectable HHV‐6 genomes. The majority of peripheral blood samples were also positive; however, the results suggest that only a rare cell in the peripheral blood is infected. Serological studies did not reveal any correlation between HHV‐6 antibody titre and the ability to detect HHV‐6 DNA. The data indicate that HHV‐6 genomes persist in the peripheral blood and oropharynx or salivary glands of most healthy individuals following primary infection.

Diagnosis of significant infections by human herpesvirus 6 (HHV6) and 7 (HHV7) in transplant patients has proved difficult because both viruses are ubiquitous and can cause persistent infections in their hosts.

## Abstract The opportunistic behavior and the potential interactions of human herpesvirus 7 (HHV‐7) with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)‐1 in HIV‐1‐infected patients were investigated in comparison with HHV‐6, another human roseolovirus. __Roseolovirus__ DNAs were detected and quantified in per
