Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study is to determine whether human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and HHV-7 might play an important role in causing interstitial pneumonia in patients who have not undergone transplantation. HHV-6 and HHV-7 DNAs were quantitated by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in paraffin embedded lung tissues collected from 24 patients having the disease. Control tissues (without fibrosis) were also...
