TI  - Detection of human herpesvirus 6(HHV-6) DNA in salivary glands by the polymerase 
      chain reaction.
PG  - 126-8
AB  - To assess the presence of HHV-6-Specific DNA in human salivary glands, eighteen 
      specimens of salivary gland tissue were investigated using the polymerase chain 
      reaction. Eight of nine parotid glands, five of seven submandibular glands and 
      one of two sublingual glands were found to have amplification of the 
      HHV-6-specific sequence. The findings suggest that salivary gland tissue is one 
      of the potential sites for HHV-6 persistence following primary infection and that 
      saliva is a vehicle for transmission of the virus.
