TI  - Prevalence of antibody to human herpesvirus 6 in women and children.
PG  - 515-8
AB  - The antibody prevalence to human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) was compared between 
      pregnant women and control women of similar ages in Thailand. No significant 
      difference was detected in the antibody positive rate and antibody titers between 
      both groups. The antibody titers in sera collected from pregnant women at 1st and 
      3rd trimester remained unchanged. Next, the antibody prevalence in infants were 
      examined and the positive rate decreased until 3 months and started to increase 
      from 6 months after birth. The present results suggest that the reactivation of 
      HHV-6 might not occur during pregnancy and this virus infects infants 
      postnatally.
