摘要：

Serum samples from healthy adults in four geographic/ethnic groups (Ghanaian Blacks, Malaysian Chinese, Malaysian Indians and United States Causcaians) were tested under code for antibodies to human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6). The prevalence and titer of HHV-6 antibody in the healthy Ghanaians were significantly higher than in the Malaysian Chines; United States Caucasians and Malaysian Indians had intermediate prevalence and titer of antibodies. Thus far, no specific differences in HHV-6-associated diseases have been noted between geographic/ethnic groups with these marked variations in antibody patterns.
