Human herpes virus type 6 (HHV6)

Human Herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6 or HHV6) is collective name for a group of DNA virus species: human herpesvirus 6A (HHV-6A) and human herpesvirus 6B (HHV-6B). HHV-6 are widespread viruses that typically cause roseola (sixth disease) in infants but can also lead to severe complications in immunocompromised individuals, including encephalitis, bone marrow suppression, and organ rejection in transplant recipients. Accurate detection is critical for early diagnosis and effective clinical management.
HHV-6 PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology provide a sensitive and specific method for detecting HHV-6 DNA in human samples. These molecular diagnostics tools deliver accurate and reproducible results in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Available in CE IVD-marked formats for diagnostic use and as research use only (RUO) versions, these PCR assays support a wide range of applications including transplant monitoring from clinical samples, CNS infection diagnostics, and herpesvirus epidemiology.
