Antibody titers against human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) were determined in 80 healthy adults and 100 children and teenagers from Sweden to gain information on the role of the virus and its epidemiology. Based on a positive immunofluorescence titer of 1:10 and above, about 85% of the adults and children were seropositive with 60% seropositivity of children below age one year. Titers were generally higher in patients with simultaneous EBV or CMV infection, yet crossreactivity appeared essentially no problem. HHV-6 thus is ubiquitous like other herpesviruses. Primary infection seems to occur early in life, and reactivation or delayed primary infection may be associated with a variety of disorders.

D003586 Cytomegalovirus Infections Infection with CYTOMEGALOVIRUS, characterized by enlarged cells bearing intranuclear inclusions. Infection may be in almost any organ, but the salivary glands are the most common site in children, as are the lungs in adults.

D003587 Cytomegalovirus A genus of the family HERPESVIRIDAE, subfamily BETAHERPESVIRINAE, infecting the salivary glands, liver, spleen, lungs, eyes, and other organs, in which they produce characteristically enlarged cells with intranuclear inclusions. Infection with Cytomegalovirus is also seen as an opportunistic infection in AIDS.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
