Abstract:
A viral isolate obtained from peripheral blood lymphocytes of an infant with a nonspecific febrile syndrome was identified as human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) on the basis of PCR analysis of its DNA with one set of primers specific for HHV-7. The correlation of HHV-7 with the febrile episode affecting the infant is suggested.
