The endogenous reactivation of HHV-6/7 may result in Pityriasis rosea (PR). The blood viral load distinguishes between latent and clinically manifest disease. We compared HHV-7/6 DNA load in saliva and blood samples of PR patients and controls. Salivary PCR assay is inadequate to detect and follow-up HHV-7 reactivation in PR. Only the plasma viral DNA load remains the direct marker of the viral replication.

Abstract
The endogenous reactivation of HHV-6/7 may result in Pityriasis rosea (PR). The blood viral load distinguishes between latent and clinically manifest disease. We compared HHV-7/6 DNA load in saliva and blood samples of PR patients and controls. Salivary PCR assay is inadequate to detect and follow-up HHV-7 reactivation in PR. Only the plasma viral DNA load remains the direct marker of the viral replication.
