PCR Human Herpesvirus 6 (HHV6)
HHV-6 has a very high prevalence (close to 100% of the world’s population has been exposed). It is transmitted mainly by saliva. Transmission occurs usually within the first two years of life; primary infection is often associated with a febrile condition and sometimes with the onset of roseola (exanthem subitum).
