Human Herpesvirus 6

Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 1999
Human herpesvirus (HHV) 6 is a beta-herpes, DNA virus. This virus shows closest homology with cytomegalovirus and HHV-7. Infection usually occurs in infants 6 to 24 months of age, and primary infection may result in roseola. HHV-6 infection in infants is the commonest cause of fever-induced seizures.

9 Human herpesvirus 6

Baillière's Clinical Haematology, 1995
HHV-6, the first T-lymphotropic human herpesvirus, is an important novel human pathogen. It is the cause of exanthem subitum in infants and may act as an opportunistic agent in immunocompromised patients. Moreover, several lines of clinical and experimental evidence suggest that HHV-6 may accelerate the progression of HIV infection.

Human herpesvirus 6 in AIDS

The Lancet, 1994
Multiple lines of clinical and experimental evidence suggest that human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) may act as an accelerating factor in the natural history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Although, in common with HIV, HHV-6 has a primary tropism for CD4+ T cells, its potential effects on the immune system are broader.

Human Herpesvirus 6 and Pneumonia

Leukemia & Lymphoma, 1994
Studies of lung tissues and bronchoalveolar lavage specimens from patients with pneumonia have led some investigators to propose that human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) can cause pneumonia. As the etiologic role of HHV-6 in pneumonia remains poorly defined, cases of pneumonia that are associated with pulmonary HHV-6 infection are best described as HHV-6 ...

Human herpesvirus 6

Reviews in Medical Virology, 2000
Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), a member of the beta-herpesvirinae subfamily, is highly seroprevalent, has a worldwide distribution, and infection usually occurs within the first two years of life. In this age group, HHV-6 causes febrile illness including exanthem subitum with seizures a recognised complication.

Human herpesvirus 6 encephalitis

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2008
Human herpesvirus (HHV) 6, the etiologic agent of roseola, is nearly universally acquired during childhood. The virus establishes lifelong infection, including within the central nervous system (CNS), and replicates within several CNS cell types. HHV-6 has been linked to CNS disease during primary infection, including febrile seizures and possibly ...

Human Herpesvirus 6 and Human Herpesvirus 7

2016
Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) was first isolated from patients with lymphoproliferative disorders in 1986 and was initially named human B-lymphotropic virus. Characterization of HHV-6 indicated that the virus is antigenically and genetically distinct from other known human herpesviruses. HHV-7 can be frequently isolated from saliva of healthy adults, and
