Herpes simplex virus lymphadenitis.
A 63-year-old man with relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia with deletion of chromosome 11q initiated second-line treatment with bendamustine and rituximab. Physical examination revealed peripheral lymphadenopathy and a herpes simplex virus (HSV)–like lesion in the right perioral region. After the first cycle, there was rapid improvement in blood counts and lymphadenopathy. However, he develop...
متن کاملLymphotropic herpes virus (EBV, HHV-6, HHV-8) DNA sequences in HIV negative Castleman's disease.
Aim-To evaluate the possible involvement of lymphotropic herpes viruses in Castleman's disease.Methods-Archival formalin fixed, paraffin wax embedded biopsy specimens from 16 HIV negative patients (11 with localised and five of multicentric disease) were studied. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), human herpes virus-6 (HHV-6) and human herpes virus-8 (HHV-8) DNA was detected using PCR. PCR was also used...
متن کاملPrevalence of human herpes virus 6 (HHV-6) antibodies and viral DNA in Saudi renal transplant recipients
Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is a ß-herpesvirus that is characteristically T-lymphotropic. It is regarded to be a major pathogen in transplant recipients. Very little is known about the prevalence of HHV-6 in Saudi transplant recipients . The aim of the current study was to determine the HHV-6 antibodies (IgM and IgG) and viral DNA in Saudi renal transplant recipients. The study was conducted a ...
متن کاملOutbreaks of human-herpes virus 6 (HHV-6) infection in day-care centers in Belém, Pará, Brazil.
A total of 730 children aged less than 7 years, attending 8 day-care centers (DCCs) in Belém, Brazil were followed-up from January to December 1997 to investigate the occurrence of human-herpes virus 6 (HHV-6) infection in these institutional settings. Between October and December 1997 there have been outbreaks of a febrile- and -exanthematous disease, affecting at least 15-20% of children in e...
متن کاملOptimization of the Sybr Green real time PCR for the detection of Human Herpes Virus type 6 (HHV-6).
HHV-6 is the etiological agent of Exanthem subitum which is considered the sixth most frequent disease in infancy. In immuno-compromised hosts, reactivation of latent HHV-6 infection may cause severe acute disease. We developed a Sybr Green Real Time PCR for HHV-6 and compared the results with nested conventional PCR. A 214 pb PCR derived fragment was cloned using pGEM-T easy from Promega syste...
