Abstract excerpt
Human herpesvirus-6 exists in two forms, HHV-6A which has not been clearly associated with any disease, and HHV-6B, the causative agent of exanthem subitum. The two variants have been distinguished by techniques such as dot blotting and restriction fragment length polymorphism of PCR products. Th...
