Objective To research the relationship between human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) viral Load and the etiopathogenisis of hemophagocytic syndrome, in order to provide evidence for the clinical diagnosis of hemophagocytic syndrome and anti-virus therapy. Methods Peripheral blood of patient with hemophagocytic syndrome during different treatment periods, extracted DNA, Syntheticed the primers of HHV-7,gene sequence of PCR amplified fragments detected, determined HHV-7 viral Load by Real - time fluorescent quantitative PCR and the ferritin concentration in peripheral blood detected by chemiluminescence. Result The sequence result indicated that PCR amplified fragment was a part of HHV-7 gene, the ferritin concentration viried with the load of HHV-7. Conclusion The occurrence of hemophagocytic syndrome is connetted with the load of HHV-7.
