[First results of application of an enzyme immunoassay in the serological diagnostics of infection caused by herpesvirus type 7.].

HHV-7 (Human Herpes virus type 7) is a relatively recently discovered, ubiquitous beta herpes virus. In Russia, the diagnosis of HHV-7 infection is carried out by PCR, which determines the DNA in serum or plasma, if there are clinical indications. Laboratory serological tests for HHV-7 are not performed.

[Application of indirect enzyme immunoassay to detect specific IgM for human herpes virus type 6.].

In recent years, timely diagnosis of human herpes virus infection of type 6 (HHV6), especially in pediatrics, has acquired particular relevance. In the spectrum of serological diagnostics, an indirect ELISA method was used to detect IgM against HHV-6 in a study of samples of children sera (198), conditionally healthy patients (148) and donors (145). The use of ELISA IgM HHV6 is more significant for the expansion of the complex of the diagnostic study of the disease associated with primary HHV6 infection or its reactivation.
