AB  - This is the first presentation of information on the circulation of human herpes 
      virus type 6 (HHV-6) in the population of the mid-European part of this country. 
      The results of the study indicate that HHV-6 is widely spread both among 
      apparently normal people and among patients with different pathologies. The 
      studies using immunofluorescence test showed that the percentage of 
      HHV-6-infected subjects was practically similar among blood donors, patients with 
      nasopharyngeal cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, hemophilia, and patients with 
      transplanted kidney, varying from 34% to 49%. A significantly higher per cent 
      (66%) and higher antibody titres to HHV-6 were detected in sera from patients 
      with hemoblastoses. A high level of HHV-6 infection among patients with 
      hemoblastoses was also confirmed by the results of immunoblotting showing a wider 
      spectrum and higher intensity of the detectable proteins. It should be noted that 
      the amounts of virus-specific proteins detectable by some sera showed individual 
      variations indicating different levels of expression of viral proteins in 
      different individuals.
