СHROMOSOMALLY INTEGRATED HUMAN HERPESVIRUS 6 [PDF]
The review focuses on the problem of chromosomally integrated human herpesvirus 6 (CIHHV-6). The main features of CIHHV-6 are wide prevalence (near 1% of population), ability to inheritance, which leads to problems of diagnostics of acute HHV-6 infection.

Human herpesvirus 6 and human herpesvirus 7 in chronic fatigue syndrome [PDF]
We analyzed lymphocytes of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) for the presence of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and HHV-7 DNA. HHV-7 was present in over 80% of CFS patients and healthy controls, while the prevalence of HHV-6 variant A increased significantly in CFS cases (22 versus 4%; P = 0.05).

HHV-6-Positive Meningitis in an Immunocompetent Adult: Diagnostic Challenges in Distinguishing Active Infection From Chromosomal Integration: A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Consider human herpesvirus 6 (HHV‐6) in immunocompetent adults with viral meningitis when standard tests are negative. Qualitative CSF PCR requires cautious interpretation because it cannot exclude chromosomally integrated HHV‐6. Serial CSF improvement and rapid clinical recovery may support probable self‐limited infection and help avoid ...
