Abstract
A viral isolate obtained from peripheral blood lymphocytes of an infan t with a nonspecific febrile syndrome was identified as human herpes v irus 7 (HHV-7) on the basis of PCR analysis of its DNA with one set of primers specific for HHV-7. The correlation of HHV-7 with the febrile episode affecting the infant is suggested. (C) 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
