AB  - We looked for human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and HHV-7 genomes in the cervixes of 
      pregnant women in the late stages of their pregnancies. Of 72 samples collected 
      with cervical swabs and amplified by nested PCR, we found that 14 (19.4%) and 2 
      (2.7%) contained detectable HHV-6 and HHV-7 genomes, respectively. The two 
      samples in which HHV-7 DNA was detected also contained HHV-6 genomes. 
      Hybridization of HHV-6 DNA amplified by PCR with variant-specific probes revealed 
      that all of these DNA samples belonged to variant type B. These results indicated 
      that HHV-6 and/or HHV-7 exists in the cervixes of infected women in late 
      pregnancy and may cause perinatal infection.
