Low prevalence of circulating anti-type 6 human herpes virus IgG-antibodies in Spanish children Roldán, C. Gutiérrez Fernández, José De La Higuera, A. Maroto Vela, María del Carmen Human herpes virus type 6 Antibody Prevalence IgG The prevalence of circulating anti-HHV-6 IgG-antibodies in an infant population, was investigated to assess the evolution of antibody titres from birth to adulthood. Endpoint titration was done by indirect immunofluorescence, in 525 samples of serum from children, healthy adults and pregnant women. In the children, seropositivity increased from the age of 6 months, and was highest (56.52%) between 7 months and 1 year, suggesting that the initial infection occurred between 6 and 12 months of age. 2024-06-04T08:39:08Z 2024-06-04T08:39:08Z 1996-02 journal article Roldan C, Gutiérrez J, de la Higuera A, Maroto C.
