Human Herpesviruses 6 and 7
The identification of human herpesvirus (HHV) 6 (HHV-6) and 7 (HHV-7) was first reported in 1986 and 1990, respectively. HHV-6 was isolated initially from the blood of several immunodeficient adults, including some with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) (1). The existence of HHV-7 was first revealed in the blood of a healthy, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-negative adult (2). Extens...
متن کاملHuman herpesviruses 6 and 7 in solid organ transplant recipients.
The impact of cytomegalovirus, a member of the beta-herpesvirus subgroup of the Herpesviridae, on patients who have undergone transplantation cannot be overstated. However, in the last 15 years, 2 additional members of the human beta-herpesvirus family have been discovered: human herpesviruses 6 and 7 (HHV-6 and HHV-7). The impact of HHV-6 and HHV-7 is assessed, as is the well-being of transpla...
متن کاملHuman herpesviruses 6 and 7 in cervixes of pregnant women.
We looked for human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and HHV-7 genomes in the cervixes of pregnant women in the late stages of their pregnancies. Of 72 samples collected with cervical swabs and amplified by nested PCR, we found that 14 (19.4%) and 2 (2.7%) contained detectable HHV-6 and HHV-7 genomes, respectively. The two samples in which HHV-7 DNA was detected also contained HHV-6 genomes. Hybridization...
متن کاملNovel human herpesviruses and multiple sclerosis.
It has been suggested that human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) might be involved in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, studies of the association between HHV-6 and MS are hindered by the difficulty in discriminating between latent and active infection. We undertook a study to determine whether HHV-6 establish a systemic active infection in the course of MS, and to investigate possibl...
متن کاملHerpesviruses and human cancer.
Although it has been established that some viruses can cause cancer in animals, the evidence for a viral etiology of at least some human cancers has been slow to accumulate. At present, viruses acting alone or in association with such factors as hormones, chemicals, genetic determinants, or other unknown cofactors have been linked to five human cancers (see Table 1). Three of these malignancies...
