Human herpesvirus 6 detection kits

Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) belongs to the Roseolavirus genus of the ß-herpesvirus subfamily and was discovered in 1986. HHV-6 is ubiquitous in general populations, with up to 90% of the adults being seropositive. The most frequent manifestation of acute primary HHV-6 infection is roseola infantum in babies and young children. It has been suggested that HHV-6 may play a role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis.
