## Abstract The detection of human herpesvirus 6 (HHVβ6) DNA was carried out in throat swabs of adults and children by the polymerase chain reaction, and isolation of virus was also attempted from peripheral mononuclear cells. Although virus was isolated only from peripheral blood mononuclear cells

## Abstract Human herpesvirusβ6 (HHVβ6) is a newly identified human pathogen. Currently clinicians rely mainly on blood lymphocyte culture and serological tests to diagnose HHVβ6 infection. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was carried out on the plasma or sera of patients to determine the value
## Abstract In order to evaluate the prevalence of human herpesvirus type 7 (HHVβ7) in adult blood donors oral lavage fluid, bum coat, and uring samples from 112 persons were examined by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) at one time point. In addition, 11 donors were studied longitudinally over 1
During the winter season of 1994/1995, nasopharyngeal aspirates and blood samples of neonates who were admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) (group 1) and infants with respiratory tract disease (group 2) were examined prospectively for the presence of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
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
DNAs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (MNCs), plasma, saliva, stool, and urine from three patients with exanthem subitum and in peripheral blood MNCs, plasma, and saliva from their mothers. HHV-6 DNAs were detected in MNCs during and after the disease and were found in plasma only in the acute
