Article Synopsis
- * Researchers collected saliva samples from 64 pregnant women at various stages, measuring viral DNA load to assess the presence of HHV-6 and HHV-7 using techniques like qPCR and nested PCR.
- * Results showed an increase in viral DNA load as pregnancy progressed, particularly around delivery, and a notable connection between lower viral loads and higher abnormal scores on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), suggesting a potential relationship between viral activity and mental health in these women.
