Establishment and clinical application of a new real time PCR assay for simultaneous detection of human herpesvirus-6A and human herpesvirus-6B

OBJECTIVE: Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) isolates are classified into two variants, HHV-6A and HHV-6B, based on distinct genetic, antigenic and biological characteristics. HHV-6 has been associated with encephalitis in children recently. This study aimed to establish a real time PCR assay for simultan...

520 |a OBJECTIVE: Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) isolates are classified into two variants, HHV-6A and HHV-6B, based on distinct genetic, antigenic and biological characteristics. HHV-6 has been associated with encephalitis in children recently. This study aimed to establish a real time PCR assay for simultaneous detection of the two subtypes of HHV-6, and apply this new assay to children with suspected encephalitis, then analyze the relationship between the infection with HHV-6 and encephalitis in children 
520 |a METHOD: The universal primers and variant-specific TaqMan probes were designed based on the highly conserved sequences of the DNA polymerase gene (U38) of HHV-6. The 5' end of the probes for HHV-6A and HHV-6B was labeled with the fluorescein reporter tetrachloro-6-carboxyfluorescein and 6-carboxyfluorescein (6-FAM), separately, while the 3' end were quenched with 6-carboxy-tetramethylrhodamine. The real time PCR assay for simultaneous detection of HHV-6A and HHV-6B was established. Then, the plasmids of HHV-6A and -6B which were diluted by a 10-fold series from 10(9) to 10(0) copies/microl, together with controls were used for testing both sensitivity and specificity of the real time PCR assay. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens from 445 cases of suspected encephalitis were tested with this real time PCR and positive samples were then sequenced 
520 |a RESULT: Both HHV-6A (strain ZJ-159) and HHV-6B (strain GS) were positive on the real time PCR assay. There were no cross-reaction with herpes simplex virus type 1, type 2 (HSV-1, HSV-2), varicella-zoster virus (VZV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), hepatitis B virus, Staphylococcus aureus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and human DNA. A linear regression curve was obtained when plotting Ct values against the log10 of the viral DNA input for both subtypes of HHV-6. The sensitivity threshold was 10 copies/microl for the real time PCR. HHV-6 positive rate by the real time PCR assay was 4.72% (21/445), including 4 cases with HHV-6A infection, 16 cases of HHV-6B infection and 1 case with mixed HHV-6A and HHV-6B infection. The new PCR assay usually took 2 to 3 hours to provide results 
520 |a CONCLUSION: This new real time PCR assay can simultaneously detect both subtypes of HHV-6, and have high specificity and sensitivity. It will provide an early and sensitive diagnosis of HHV-6 encephalitis in children
