“…The adult prevalence of HHV in the general population is that HSV-1 infects about 70% of adults, HSV-2 about 30%, VZV more than 90%, EBV also more than 90%, CMV about 70%, and more than 95% of those 2 years and older are infected with either HHV-6A or HHV-6B or both ( 36 ). In contrast, in the depressed population, a study examining serologic testing in Turkish adolescents found HSV-1 in 71.4%, EBV in 82.9%, CMV in 94.2%, and HHV6 in 91.4%, and no statistically significant difference in healthy controls in the same study ( 35 ). No significant differences in HHV morbidity are expected between the general population and the depressed population, and it is likely that some infected individuals are more susceptible to depression than others.…”
