Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) DNA sequences were examined in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) DNA samples of 56 children, 15 healthy adults, and 10 renal transplant patients by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The PCR amplification was carried out using the published KS330 233 primer pairs

On the basis of alterations in varicella-zoster virus (VZV) antibody titers, it appears that Bell's palsy in some patients could be associated with VZV reactivation, that is, zoster sine herpete. To obtain stronger evidence of this association, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect VZV
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. The significance of viral DNA detected in peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs; DNAemia) by
