The aim of this study is the analysis of CSF from patients with clinical symptoms of acute or chronic neurological disease, using an automatic system for nuclei acid extraction and Real Time PCR to detect HHV6 DNA. Viral DNA was evidenced in 31 samples; 22 were collected from adults: 14 immunocompetent subjects with neurological disease, 1 kidney transplant recipient, 1 HIV positive and 6 with chronic neurological disorders. 9 HHV6 positive samples were form childern with meningoencephallitis.
