The prevalence and clinical relevance of human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing in high human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-prevalence African settings are still unknown. This study describes the clinical and laboratory characteristics of 13 patients with HHV-6 CSF PCR positivity in Botswana.
The prevalence and clinical relevance of human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) detection in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing in patients with suspected meningoencephalitis in high human immunodeficiency virus-prevalence African settings are not known. We describe the clinical and laboratory characteristics of 13 patients with HHV-6 CSF PCR positivity in Botswana.
