Abstract in Portuguese
A infecção primária com o herpesvirus humano tipo 6 (HHV-6) pode resultar no exantema súbito, encefalite e recorrentes complicações. Pesquisas demonstram que crianças obtêm os anticorpos contra o HHV-6 antes dos dois anos de idade. Após a infecção primária, o DNA do HHV-6 permanece latente em linfócitos, saliva ou líquor. A rota de transmissão permanece controversa. A liberação do HHV-6 em saliva parece ser a maior rota de transmissão. A transmissão intra-uterina, integrada no cromossomo é outra sugestão de transmissão. Foram colhidas 172 amostras, 86 de secreção cervical (mãe) e 86 de aspirado de nasofaringe (filho). Utilizamos a técnica de nested PCR para detecção do DNA viral do HHV-6. Das amostras positivas, 64% foram detectadas na secreção cervical. A positividade mãe-recém nascido foi de 14%. Das amostras de nasofaringe positivas, 25% não tiveram pareamento de positividade com as secreções cervicais de suas mães. Com estes resultados sugerimos que está existindo uma passagem viral do HHV-6, da mãe para o seu recém-nascido antes do nascimento.

Abstract in English
The primary infection with the human herpesvirus type 6 (HHV-6) can result in sudden exanthema, encephalitis and recurrent complications. Research data show that children obtain antibodies against the HHV-6 before two years old. After the primary infection, the HHV-6 DNA remains latent in lymphocytes, saliva, or spinal fluid. The transmission route remains controverse. The HHV-6 elimination of saliva seems to be the major transmission route. Intrauterine transmission, integrated in the chromosomes, is another suggested route of transmission. A total of 172 samples was collected, including 86 cervical secretion samples (mother) and 86 nasopharyngeal aspirates (newborn). We used the nested PCR technique for HHV-6 DNA detection. Among the positive samples, 64% were detected in cervical secretion. The co-positivity between mother and newborn was 14%. Among the positive nasopharyngeal samples, 25% did not present co-positivity with the cervical secretion samples of the respective mothers. Based on our results, we suggest the existence of HHV-6 transference from the mother to the fetus before birth.
