PG - 2657-9 AB - Blood samples from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients were monitored for cytomegalovirus (CMV), human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), and HHV-7 by PCR. We detected CMV in 17% of the patients, HHV-6 in 6%, and HHV-7 in 3%. The viral loads of CMV were significantly higher than those of HHV-6 (P = 0.007) or HHV-7 (P = 0.01). Detection of CMV and HHV-6 was associated with low and high CD4 counts, respectively.
