Chromosomally Integrated HHV-6

open access: yes, 2014
Herpesviruses are members of a diverse family of viruses that colonize all vertebrates from fish to mammals. Interestingly, certain oncogenic herpesviruses such as the Marek's disease virus can be found integrated at low frequencies in the host's chromosomes.

HHV-6 and autoimmune thyroiditis

open access: yes, 2011
Si descrive la potenziale associazione dell'herpesvirus umano 6 con la tiroidite autoimmune. I dati prewsentati mostrano come questa patologia sia associata ad una infezione produttiva con HHV-6 a basso livello a carico della tiroide, mentre il virus è latente nei ...

Epidemiology and pathogenesis of HHV-6

open access: yes, 2002
Human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6), a beta-herpesvirus, was discovered in 1986. It is divided into two variants, A and B. HHV-6 variant B is the cause of exanthema subitum, while variant A has not yet been associated to any disease. HHV-6 is ubiquitous and seroepidemiological studies have shown that more than 90% of children older than two years of age are ...

Dazed and confused by HHV-6

Blood, 2011
Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is recognized as a sporadic cause of encephalitis in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients. In this issue of Blood, Zerr and coworkers report on a 3.5-year prospective study of 315 patients undergoing allogeneic HCT. 1 Patients with HHV-6 were more likely to develop delirium and neurocognitive decline.

HHV-6 antigen and HHV-6 DNA expression in sporadic adenomatous polyps of the colon

Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2013
BACKGROUND. Human herpesvirus-6B (HHV-6B) antigens are commonly found in the intestinal mucosa of patients with immunosuppression. In a series of immunocompetent patients with adenomatous, polyp HHV-6B antigen expression from mucosal biopsies was more intense than in biopsies taken from patients receiving immunosuppressive drugs because of kidney ...

HHV-6-positivity in diseases with demyelination

Journal of Clinical Virology, 2014
The triggering agent of multiple sclerosis is still unknown and many viruses, including human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6), are under suspicion. In earlier study we found patients who had HHV-6 reactive OCBs in their CSF. We wanted to investigate whether HHV-6 has an active role in diseases with demyelination.To analyze the HHV-6-reactive cases in detail and ...

HHV-6 and MS

Trends in Microbiology, 1998
The paper by Soldan et al. provides further evidence of a link between human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and multiple sclerosis (MS). Serum from patients with relapsing and remitting MS had a greater incidence of immunoglobulin M (IgM) to an HHV-6 early viral antigen, p41/38, than normal serum or serum from patients with other neurological or inflammatory ...

[HHV-6, new perspectives].

Annali di igiene : medicina preventiva e di comunita, 2004
HHV-6 is the etiological agent of Exanthema subitum, and its role in human infection is well known. Recently, molecular diagnostics tools showed for HHV-6 new pathogenetic features and new clinical implication. The present paper highlights recent knowledge on HHV-6 infection and presents a number of results concerning HHV-6 infection in children who ...

Case of fatal encephalitis by HHV‐6 variant A

Journal of Medical Virology, 2001
AbstractA fatal case is reported of encephalitis in an 85‐year‐old man caused by the human herpesvirus 6 variant A. The virological diagnosis was based on the findings of the virus variant genomic sequences both in the cerebrospinal fluid and serum of the patient. Moreover, virus replication in nervous tissue was suggested by a viral load higher in the

HHV-6, 7 and their related diseases

Journal of Dermatological Science, 2000
Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) are relatively recently discovered beta-herpesvirus. They are prevalent in the human population. Primary infection of HHV-6 has been associated with exanthem subitum and febrile illness. Little information is known about the clinical characteristics of primary infection with HHV-7, although ...
