Nonetheless, a high prevalence of HHV-6 IgG antibodies was documented in all children if all SBR and/or cut-off positive HHV-6 IgG ELISA readings were considered to represent seropositivity. No evidence of a decline in HHV-6 antibody positivity was seen with increasing age amongst children. ...
In adults an active HHV-6 infection can present as febrile illness. A 19-year-old immunocompetent patient presented with high fever, exanthem, swelling of the lymph nodes and pancytopenia and was serologically diagnosed as active HHV-6 infection with anti- HHV-6-IgM- and -IgG antibodies. ...
IgG antibodies to human herpesvirus‐6 in young children: Changes in avidity of antibody correlate with time after infection Sera from 321 children aged 0-179 weeks and 196 adult blood donors were examined for IgG antibodies to human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) using an indirect immuno... KN Ward...
As HHV-6 was the only pathogen that was detected with very high viral load during the course of the disease, DNA qPCR and FISH analysis was carried out to look for HHV-6 infection in blood as well as pre-mortem and post-mortem tissue samples. Only 1065 copies of HHV-6A DNA per milli...
Objectives We sought to determine whether elevated antibodies to EBV and HHV-6 indicated chronic viral activation in patients with CNS dysfunction and if their symptoms could be improved by suppressing viral activity with oral valganciclovir. Study design Patients with high IgG antibody titers against ...
