Uncovering the Cause of Pneumonia: Reactivation of HHV-6B in an Immunocompromised Patient. [PDF]
Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is a ubiquitous virus that commonly infects the paediatric population and establishes latency in the host following primary infection. As in other herpesviruses, HHV-6 may reactivate when the immune system becomes severely compromised, such as after chemotherapy or haematopoietic cell transplantation.

Coinfection of human herpesviruses 6A (HHV-6A) and HHV-6B as demonstrated by novel digital droplet PCR assay. [PDF]
The human herpesviruses HHV-6A and HHV-6B have been associated with various neurologic disorders partly due to the detection of elevated viral DNA levels in patients compared to controls.

HHV-6B induces IFN-lambda1 responses in cord plasmacytoid dendritic cells through TLR9.
Human herpesvirus type 6B (HHV-6B) is a strong inducer of IFN-alpha and has the capacity to promote Th1 responses and block Th2 responses in vitro. In this study we addressed whether inactivated HHV-6B can also induce IFN lambda responses and to what ...

The clinical and epidemiological features of HHV-6A and HHV-6B infections in children of Moscow [PDF]
Human herpes virus type 6 (HHV-6) is the etiological agent of plenty diseases. The form of the developing pathology depends on the localization of the virus in T-lymphocytes and on virus type: HHV-6A or HHV-6B, but identification of the type is possible ...

Human Herpesvirus 6B U26 Inhibits the Activation of the RLR/MAVS Signaling Pathway
HHV-6B (human herpesvirus 6B) is well known to evade host antiviral responses and establish a lifelong latent infection. How HHV-6B evades RNA recognition is still poorly understood.

Human herpesvirus 6B infection in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy: a meta-analysis
Background Whether human herpesvirus 6B (HHV-6B) can affect mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) remains controversial. The present meta-analysis was aimed to evaluate whether HHV-6B is significantly associated with MTLE.

Comprehensive Viral Detection and Profiling of Plasma Cell-Free RNA in Patients With Suspected Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a severe, rapidly progressive disease. While viral infection is considered a common etiology of pediatric HLH, specific causative viruses other than the Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) have been rarely identified.
