Qualitative and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) DNA in whole blood and plasma was correlated with serology and clinical assessment in 143 children hospitalized for undifferentiated febrile illness to evaluate options for diagnosis of primary HHV-6 infection on the acute blood specimen. PCR and serology for HHV-7 were done in parallel to define serologic cross-reactions. Using HHV-6 seroconversion as the reference standard, detection of HHV-6 DNA in whole blood in the absence of antibody in the plasma was the most reliable evidence of primary HHV-6 infection. Detection of HHV-6 DNA in plasma and a high virus load in whole blood (&gt;3.3 log10 copies/5 microL) had a sensitivity of 90% and 100%, respectively, in diagnosing primary HHV-6 infection. However, both were occasionally found in patients with other infections, possibly associated with HHV-6 reactivation. Maternal antibody may confound interpretation of serology in patients under 3 months of age.
