Abstract

We have previously reported the isolation of HHV‐6 from saliva samples. Because these isolations were made in PHA‐stimulated lymphocytes from healthy adults, which may occasionally contain endogenous HHV‐6, it was desirable to repeat this work using cord blood lymphocytes. In this study 18 isolations of viruses provisionally characterized as HHV‐6 were made from 19 saliva samples by centrifugally enhanced inoculation into PHA‐stimulated cord blood lymphocytes. HHV‐6 was not found in 10 pernasal aspirates, 50 endocervical swabs, or 30 male urethral swabs. It is concluded that HHV‐6 is usually present in the saliva of most adults and that this affords a possible explanation of the high infection rate with this virus in young children.

## Abstract Human herpesvirus 7 (HHV‐7) was isolated frequently from saliva specimens. The isolation rates were 81% (13/16) in adults, 70% (7/10) in children over 1 year old, and none (0/7) in children less than 1 year old, respectively, indicating that infection of HHV‐7 occurs during early infanc

Human herpesviruses-6 and -7 (HHV-6 and HHV-7) are thought to be transmitted during early infancy through saliva. However, the kinetics of the virus shedding in saliva of healthy adults, from whom children are assumed to acquire the viruses, is mostly unknown. This study was conducted to determine h
