Dermatologic Clinics, 2002 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 ...

Reviews in Medical Virology, 1993
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 6 and Human Herpesvirus 7
2016Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) was first isolated from patients with lymphoproliferative disorders in 1986 and was initially named human B-lymphotropic virus. Characterization of HHV-6 indicated that the virus is antigenically and genetically distinct from other known human herpesviruses. HHV-7 can be frequently isolated from saliva of healthy adults, and

Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 1999
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

Reactivation of human herpesvirus 6 by infection of human herpesvirus 7
Journal of Medical Virology, 2000We have attempted to reactivate human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) by infection with HHV-7 using childhood exanthem subitum patients in vitro. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were collected from children who had a history of exanthem subitum(ES) by HHV-6 and were infected by human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) in vitro.

HHV-6, the first T-lymphotropic human herpesvirus, is an important novel human pathogen. It is the cause of exanthem subitum in infants and may act as an opportunistic agent in immunocompromised patients. Moreover, several lines of clinical and experimental evidence suggest that HHV-6 may accelerate the progression of HIV infection.

Cytomegalovirus, human herpesvirus-6, and human herpesvirus-7 in hematological patients
Seminars in Hematology, 2003The 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.

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.
