RealCycler HSV678 allows the detection of Human Herpesvirus type 6 (HHV-6), Human Herpesvirus type 7 (HHV-7), and Human Herpesvirus type 8 (HHV-8) in clinical samples. HHV-6 and HHV-7 are associated with roseola infantum, which presents as high fever and a rash in young children. HHV-8 is linked to Kaposi's sarcoma, a vascular neoplasm that manifests with skin lesions and can affect immunocompromised patients, such as those with HIV/AIDS. Early detection is crucial for proper clinical management and prevention of complications.
