The development of techniques for the culture of lymphoid cells and the isolation of viruses that infect these cells led to the discovery of human herpesvirus (HHV) 6 in 1986. At the time, HHV-6 was the first new human herpesvirus to be discovered in roughly a quarter of a century, and its isolation marked the beginning of an era of discovery in ...

Az 1986-ban felfedezett emberi 6-os herpeszvírus A és B változata molekuláris tulajdonságai alapján a legősibb emberi herpeszvírus. A B változat cseppfertőzéssel terjed a tünetmentes vírusürítő felnőttekről a két év alatti kisgyermekekre, akikben alkalmilag exanthema subitum jöhet létre.

Human herpesvirus 6 variant A (HHV-6A) and human herpesvirus 6 variant B (HHV-6B) are two closely related yet distinct viruses. These visuses belong to the Roseolovirus genus of the betaherpesvirus subfamily; they are most closely related to human herpesvirus 7 and then to human cytomegalovirus.

Az emberi 7-es herpeszvírus 1990 óta ismert, közeli rokonságban áll a 6-os herpeszvírussal, annak B változatával. Csak emberi sejtekben szaporodik, receptora a CD4 molekula. A fertőzött sejtek egy részében élethossziglan lappang, gyakran reaktiválódik és a nyálban tünetmentesen ürül.

Human herpesvirus 6 and epilepsy
AbstractWe investigated the association between human herpesvirus 6 (HHV‐6) and mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS) in 87 patients who had surgery for drug‐resistant epilepsy. Fifty‐four had MTS, 22 focal cortical dysplasia (FCD), four tumors, three vascular malformations, and three a history of encephalitis.

LYMPHOPROLIFERATIVE SYNDROMES ASSOCIATED WITH HUMAN HERPESVIRUS-6A AND HUMAN HERPESVIRUS-6B [PDF]
Human herpesvirus 6A and 6B (HHV-6A and HHV-6B) have been noted since their discovery for their T-lymphotropism. Although it has proven difficult to determine the extent to which HHV-6A and HHV-6B are involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases, evidence suggests that primary infection and reactivation of both viruses may induce or contribute to the ...

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).

Herpesviruses are among the most successful human pathogens. In healthy individuals, primary infection is most often inapparent. After primary infection, the virus becomes latent in ganglia or blood mononuclear cells. Three major subfamilies of herpesviruses have been identified based on similar growth characteristics, genomic structure, and tissue ...

Human Herpesvirus 6 and Neuroinflammation [PDF]
Human herpesvirus (HHV-) 6A and HHV-6B are two distinctβ-herpesviruses which have been associated with various neurological diseases, including encephalitis, meningitis, epilepsy, and multiple sclerosis. Although the reactivation of both viruses is recognized as the cause of some neurological complications in conditions of immunosuppression, their ...
