Objective:
To research the relationship between human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) viral Load and the etiopathogenisis of hemophagocytic syndrome, in order to provide evidence for the clinical diagnosis of hemophagocytic syndrome and anti-virus therapy.
Methods:
Peripheral blood of patient with hemophagocytic syndrome during different treatment periods, extracted DNA, Syntheticed the primers of HHV-7, gene sequence of PCR amplified fragments detected, determined HHV-7 viral Load by Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR and the ferritin concentration in peripheral blood detected by chemiluminescence.
Result:
The sequence result indicated that PCR amplified fragment was a part of HHV-7 gene, the ferritin concentration viried with the load of HHV-7.
Conclusion:
The occurrence of hemophagocytic syndrome is connetted with the load of HHV-7.
