HHV-6 Infection and Chemokine RANTES Signaling Pathway Disturbance in Patients with Autoimmune Thyroiditis [PDF]
Viruses, 2020 The aim of this study was to investigate the role of human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) in autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) development. We examined the possible involvement of HHV-6 gene expression encoding immunomodulating proteins U12 and U51 in AIT development ...

HHV-6-Positive Meningitis in an Immunocompetent Adult: Diagnostic Challenges in Distinguishing Active Infection From Chromosomal Integration: A Case Report. [PDF]
Clin Case RepABSTRACT 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 ...

HHV-8-unrelated primary effusion-like lymphoma associated with clonal loss of inherited chromosomally-integrated human herpesvirus-6A from the telomere of chromosome 19q [PDF]
, 2016 Primary effusion lymphomas (PEL) are associated with human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) and usually occur in immunocompromised individuals. However, there are numerous reports of HHV-8-unrelated PEL-like lymphomas with unknown aetiology. Here we characterize an
