Human herpesvirus 8 and human herpesvirus 2 infections in prison population

Journal of Medical Virology, 2006
AbstractIncarcerated persons have high rates of infectious diseases. Few data on the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases in prisoners are available. This multi‐center cross‐sectional study enrolled 973 inmates from eight Italian prisons. Demographic and behavioral data were collected using an anonymous standardized questionnaire and antibodies ...

Human herpesvirus 6

Reviews in Medical Virology, 2000
Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), a member of the beta-herpesvirinae subfamily, is highly seroprevalent, has a worldwide distribution, and infection usually occurs within the first two years of life. In this age group, HHV-6 causes febrile illness including exanthem subitum with seizures a recognised complication.

Human Herpesvirus-6 and Human Herpesvirus-7

1997
Human herpesvirus type 6 (HHV-6) and human herpes-virus type 7 (HHV-7) are two of the most recently characterized viruses in the group that includes herpes simplex virus 1 (HHV-1), herpes simplex virus 2 (HHV-2), varicellazoster (HHV-3), Epstein—Barr virus (EBV) (HHV-4), cytomegalovirus (CMV) (HHV-5), and the Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus HHV-

Cytomegalovirus, human herpesvirus-6, and human herpesvirus-7 in hematological patients

Seminars in Hematology, 2003
The prototype member of the Betaherpesvirinae subfamily, cytomegalovirus (CMV), is the most important infectious pathogen in transplant recipients, including those receiving bone marrow or stem cell grafts. Overt CMV disease such as pneumonitis is notoriously difficult to treat.

The descent of human herpesvirus 8

Seminars in Cancer Biology, 1999
Analysis of conserved herpesvirus genes shows that human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) belongs to a clade of primate herpesviruses within the gamma2 sublineage. Overall, this clade has developed by cospeciation with host species. Seventeen genes of HHV8 and its nearest relatives lack simple homologues in other herpesviruses, and eight of these have known ...

Human Herpesvirus 6 and Pneumonia

Leukemia & Lymphoma, 1994
Studies of lung tissues and bronchoalveolar lavage specimens from patients with pneumonia have led some investigators to propose that human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) can cause pneumonia. As the etiologic role of HHV-6 in pneumonia remains poorly defined, cases of pneumonia that are associated with pulmonary HHV-6 infection are best described as HHV-6 ...

Human herpesvirus 6 in AIDS

The Lancet, 1994
Multiple lines of clinical and experimental evidence suggest that human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) may act as an accelerating factor in the natural history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Although, in common with HIV, HHV-6 has a primary tropism for CD4+ T cells, its potential effects on the immune system are broader.

Human herpesvirus 8 infections

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 1999
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) or Kaposi's sarcoma (KS)-associated herpesvirus is a recently identified virus that is associated with KS, multicentric Castleman's disease, and body cavity-based lymphomas. KS is the most common kind of cancer in AIDS patients and the initial AIDS-defining condition in over 20% of patients.
