Betaherpesvirus genetic variation and infection in HIV-1 infected and 'HIV-1 exposed' Zambian children

2010-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The betaherpesviruses human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) are investigated here as pathogens in Zambia, an HIV -1 endemic region where there was little previous data. In particular we assess the effects of these viruses on 'maternally HIV-l exposed' infants: HIV-l negative infants of HI V-I positive mothers. HCMV and HHV-6 are serious causes of morbidity and mortality in HIV / AIDS and are...
