ANTI-HHV-6 ANTIBODIES DETECTION Differential diagnostics › Sixth disease › Acute fever in small children exanthema, respiratory infection, gastroenteritis, neuroinfection, hepatitis › Infectious mononucleosis › Opportunistic infections in immunodeficient patients Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), a member of β-herpesviridae family, is capable of establishing life-long latency in the host organism with frequent reactivation of the infection in more than 95% of human population over the world. While the primary infection may cause a mild febrile disease in infants, known as exanthema subitum, the...

HUMAN HERPESVIRUS 6 ELISA DETECTION OF IgG AND IgM Ability of HHV-6 to invade central nervous system (CNS) may be associated with neurological complications during the primary infection or the virus reactivation in immunocompromised individuals (i.e. febrile seizures or mild meningitis in infants and serious encephalitis/ encephalopathy in immunodeficient patients, associated with demyelination in the brain grey matter). HHV-6-specific intrathecal antibody synthesis can be a marker of the virus activity in CNS, but also a bystander product of chronic CNS inflammation. It can be calculated...
