Assessment reveals seroconversion and IgG antibodies in children with human herpesvirus type 6 infection, suggesting effective serodiagnosis.

Seroconversion and IgG antibody presence were found in 50% of patients with HHV-6 infection.
More than 80% of children older than 2 years tested positive for IgG antibodies against HHV-6.
The analysis involved 107 patients aged 1 month to 5 years with fever but no respiratory symptoms.

Nikolskiy et al. (2011) studied this question.
