Association between human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) DNA loads and cytomegalovirus reactivation in drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) validation score. HHV-6 DNA and cytomegalovirus DNA in 106 leukocytes were measured by using real-time polymerase chain reaction assay. Final score 4-5=probable case; final score>5=definite case.
•=HHV-6 DNA and cytomegalovirus DNA were detected; ○=HHV-6 DNA alone was detected; *=the second time evaluation of cytomegalovirus DNA was not carried out because of sudden death.
