[Examination of human herpesvirus-6 antibody in blood patients serum].

To know the infection state of human herpesvirus-6(HHV-6) in leukemia, lymphoma, myeloproliferative disorder syndrome, and multiple myeloma, indirect fluoroimmunoassay was taken to examine the rate of HHV-6's antibody. The results were that: the patient's rate of HHV-6 antibody was 75.6% (149/197), the blood donor's rate was 45.6% (115/252), there was a significant difference between them (P < 0.01). The results show that the examined patients are infected by HHV-6, which has a good relationship with leukemia, lymphoma, myeloproliferative disorder syndrome, and multiple myeloma.
