AB  - Cytomegalovirus, human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) are 
      members of subfamily Betaherpesvirinae of family Herpesviridae. After infection, 
      these betaherpesviruses persistent for the rest of life. Those viruses are 
      occasionally reactivated and shed either with or without clinical symptoms. The 
      laboratory diagnosis of the viral infections is established by the following 
      methods: (1) isolation of the virus from specimens; (2) detection of virus 
      antigens, and/or viral nucleic acids; and (3) detection of seroconversion or a 
      significant rise in antibody titer. Accurate and rapid laboratory diagnosis of 
      the viral diseases is prerequisite to effective antiviral chemotherapy. 
      Especially, it is most important to distinguish viral diseases to be treated from 
      mere viral infections.
