Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is a relatively recently discovered virus. Although systematic studies on the spread of this virus are lacking, considerable data have been collected regarding the prevalence of HHV-6 infection. A number of laboratory methods are available for the diagnosis of HHV-6 infection, but currently these tests are usually available ...

Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV 8), also known as Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is a g2 herpesvirus and the most recently identified human tumor virus. HHV 8 has been consistently implicated in the pathogenesis of all clinical variants of Kaposi's sarcoma, as well as in the plasma cell variant of multicentric Castleman's disease and primary ...

Human herpesvirus 7, reported in 1990 is a lymphotropic member of the betaherpesvirus subfamily of herpesviruses. The virus is highly seroprevalent, primary infection usually occurs during childhood, and it has been associated with cases of exanthem subitum, pityriasis rosea, neurological manifestations and transplant complications.

Current Opinion in Oncology, 1997
Our current understanding of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) has evolved from initial descriptions of this "idiopathic sarcoma" to a progressively detailed characterization of its probable infectious origin. This article traces the explosive discovery of human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) and its etiologic associations with KS, Castleman's disease, and primary effusion

Human herpesvirus (HHV) 6 is a beta-herpes, DNA virus. This virus shows closest homology with cytomegalovirus and HHV-7. Infection usually occurs in infants 6 to 24 months of age, and primary infection may result in roseola. HHV-6 infection in infants is the commonest cause of fever-induced seizures.

Human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) is a recently described T-lymphotropic herpesvirus, which infects almost all children by the age of three years and persists lifelong, with the shedding of infectious virus in saliva. HHV-7 is similar to human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) in its genetic content and in many of its biological properties, which include the

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 encephalitis
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2008Human herpesvirus (HHV) 6, the etiologic agent of roseola, is nearly universally acquired during childhood. The virus establishes lifelong infection, including within the central nervous system (CNS), and replicates within several CNS cell types. HHV-6 has been linked to CNS disease during primary infection, including febrile seizures and possibly ...

Human herpesvirus 8 and human herpesvirus 2 infections in prison population
Journal of Medical Virology, 2006AbstractIncarcerated 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 8 infections
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 1999Human 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.
