Abstract excerpt
In order to determine whether mixed infections of human herpesvirus 6B (HHV-6B) occur in immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals, we examined the copy numbers of telomeric repeat sequences (TRS) of clinical isolates. In clinical isolates obtained from patients with exanthem subitum caused by primary HHV-6B infection, PCR products with HHV-6B TRS ranging between 400 and 800 bp were amplified. PCR...
