UNLABELLED Primates are naturally infected with herpesviruses. During the last 15 years, the search for homologues of human herpesviruses in nonhuman primates allowed the identification of numerous viruses belonging to the different herpesvirus subfamilies and genera. No simian homologue of human herpesvirus 7 (HHV7) has been reported to date. To investigate the putative existence of HHV7-like ...

Fixed Pigmented Erythema (FPE) is a drug reaction. Pityriasis rosea of Gibert (PRG) is a cutaneous virus due to the reactivation of (HHV7/HHV6). We report here a case of FPE, the second episode simulating an initial double medallion PRG in a young adult. Our case confirmed the assertion that toxidermia is a major simulator of the other dermatoses behind the syphilis.

We investigate the impact of bacterial (Chlamydia trachomatis, Ureaplasma urealyticum/parvum, Mycomplasma hominis/genitalium, Gardnerella vaginalis) and viral (HSV1/2, EBV, CMV, VZV, HHV6/HHV7, HHV8) pathogens, as a potential cause reproductive failure in women by analysis menstrual blood. analyzed DNA extracted from 48 probands selected on basis history infertility. extraction, Real-time qPCR,...

218 Indian Dermatology Online Journal | Volume 8 | Issue 3 | May‐June 2017 Many viruses including HHV6 and HHV7 have been proposed as causative agents for pityriasis rosea, although there is no conclusive evidence. Here, we presented a case of pityriasis rosea coexisting with oral HSV1 infection. Our case is unique because purpuric pityriasis rosea has not been associated with HSV1 previously. ...

METHODS A total of 43 children with neurological signs and symptoms were enrolled in the study. All children were suspected of having meningitis, and lumbar punctures were performed. Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and HHV-7 DNA was detected in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) by nested polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Most patients had detectable serum an...

Objectives: Human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) is spread worldwide and has been described as a potential pathogen in immunosuppressed patients. Different clinical manifestations have been described including fever and skin rash; HHV-7 may also be a possible cofactor for cytomegalovirus disease in transplant recipients. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of a group of 58 adult recipients of ...
