Prevalence and distribution of human herpesvirus 6 variants A and B in adult human brain

2 Apr 2001

Abstract excerpt

The presence of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) in brain tissues of 40 consecutive post-mortem cases was examined. For each case, autopsy samples were collected from the cerebellum, frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital lobes of both sides of the brain. HHV-6 DNA was detected by nested polymerase chain reaction and characterised into variants A and B. Overall, 97/400 (24.3%) samples were positive for HHV-6 DNA...
