Association between timing of exanthema subitum and febrile seizures: The Japan environment and children's study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Recently, episodes of exanthema subitum (ES) have been occurring later than expected in Japanese patients, though the effects of this delayed timing remain unclear. Therefore, this study examined the association between ES timing and febrile seizure (FS)

Parvovirus B19 Infection as a Potential Trigger for Systemic Diseases. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT It is crucial to perform direct methods like polymerase chain reaction (PCR) beyond serology to diagnose an active viral infection that can trigger a cutaneous/systemic disease, such as fibromyalgia. Indeed, measuring the viral load in tissues, plasma, and serum are diagnostic tools that permit the follow‐up of an active infection.

A viral APOBEC3 antagonist distinguishes HHV-6A from HHV-6B [PDF]

Nature Communications
Human herpesviruses exhibit diverse pathogenic outcomes and the molecular reasons are not fully understood. Human herpesvirus 6B (HHV-6B) causes exanthema subitum and encephalitis, whereas the closely related HHV-6A is typically asymptomatic.

Human Herpesvirus 6 Infection Presenting as an Acute Febrile Illness Associated with Thrombocytopenia and Leukopenia

Case Reports in Pediatrics, 2016
We present an infant with acute fever, thrombocytopenia, and leukopenia, coming from an endemic region for tick-borne encephalitis, human granulocytic anaplasmosis, and hantavirus infection.

Betaherpesvirus Incidence in Saliva Samples From Patients With Hematological Neoplasms: Frequency, Clinic and Diagnostic Insights. [PDF]

J Med Virol
ABSTRACT Hematological neoplasms (HN) are disorders originating in blood cells that hold significant epidemiological importance. Treatments available for these conditions can induce immunosuppression, and it increases the risk of viral infections and reactivations, mainly by Human betaherpesviruses (HCMV, HHV‐6, and HHV‐7).

Association Between Plasma SITH-1 Antibody Titers and Treatment Trajectory of Treatment-Resistant Depression. [PDF]

Neuropsychopharmacol Rep
This study investigated whether SITH‐1, a latent HHV‐6B protein that promotes neuroinflammation, is associated with the clinical trajectory of treatment‐resistant depression (TRD). We demonstrated significantly elevated SITH‐1 titers and a correlation with the number of depressive episodes, suggesting that SITH‐1 may serve as a novel biomarker for TRD.

Incidence of common infectious diseases in Japan during the COVID-19 pandemic

PLoS ONE, 2022
Recent reports indicate that respiratory infectious diseases were suppressed during the novel coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. COVID-19 led to behavioral changes aimed to control droplet transmission or contact transmission.

Clinically relevant DNA viruses in pregnancy

Prenatal Diagnosis, Volume 43, Issue 4, Page 457-466, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Infections by DNA viruses during pregnancy are associated with increased health risks to both mother and fetus. Although not all DNA viruses are related to an increased risk of complications during pregnancy, several can directly infect the fetus and/or cause placental dysfunction. During Non‐Invasive Prenatal Testing analysis, the presence of
