TI  - Seroepidemiology of human herpesvirus 6 infection in normal children and adults.
PG  - 651-3
AB  - Sera from normal subjects were examined for reactivity to human herpesvirus 6 
      (HHV-6) by the anticomplement immunofluorescence test. Of a total of 179 serum 
      specimens from donors aged from under 10 to 59 years, 141 specimens showed 
      positive reactivity against HHV-6. The positive rate was 70 to 83% for all age 
      groups, and there were no substantial differences in the positive rates. Sera 
      from younger children aged from 0 to 21 months were then examined in detail. The 
      antibody-positive rate of children aged from 0 to 5 months decreased from 52 to 
      5%, but it gradually increased by 12 months. Almost all children had the antibody 
      against this virus after 13 months of age.
