Infections with human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), a ß-herpesvirus of which two variant groups (A and B) are recognized, is very common, approaching 100% in seroprevalence. Primary infection with HHV-6B causes roseola infantum or exanthem subitum, a common childhood disease that resolves spontaneously. After primary infection, the virus replicates in the salivary glands and is shed in saliva, the recognized route of transmission for variant B strains; it remains latent in lymphocytes and monocytes and persists at low levels in cells and tissues. Not usually associated with disease in the immunocompetent, HHV-6 infection is a major cause of opportunistic viral infections in the immunosuppressed, typically AIDS patients and transplant recipients, in whom HHV-6 infection/reactivation may culminate in rejection of transplanted organs and death. Other opportunistic viruses, human cytomegalovirus and HHV-7, also infect or reactivate in persons at risk. Another disease whose pathogenesis may be correlated with

What is Roseola Infantum: Roseola infantum is the sixth of the traditional exanthems of childhood. The condition is an acute benign disease of childhood characterized by a history of a prodromal febrile illness lasting approximately 3 days, followed by defervescence and the appearance of a faint pink maculopapular rash.

Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) was the sixth herpesvirus discovered. Isolated in 1986 during attempts to find novel viruses in patients with lymphoproliferative diseases, HHV-6 is now recognized as a T-cell lymphotropic virus with high affinity for CD4 lymphocytes.

To facilitate detection of expressed HHV-8 gB, the cytoplasmic tail of the glycoprotein was tagged with the influenza hemagglutinin (HA) epitope. Expression of tagged HHV-8 gB (gB-HA), as well as the untagged form, was readily detected in CHO-K1 cells and several lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs). HHV-8 gB-HA was sensitive to endoglycosidase H treatment, and immunofluorescence revealed that HHV-8 gB- HA was detectable in the perinuclear region of CHO-K1 cells. These observations suggest that HHV-8 gB is not processed in the Golgi and localizes to the ...

Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6A and HHV-6B) can cause primary infection or reactivate from latency in liver transplant recipients, which can result in a variety of clinical syndromes, including fever, hepatitis, encephalitis and higher rates of graft dysfunction as well as indirect effects including increased risks of mortality, CMV disease, hepatitis C progression and greater fibrosis scores. Although HHV-6 infection is currently diagnosed by quantifying viral DNA in plasma or blood, biopsy to demonstrate histopathological effects of HHV-6 remains the gold standard for diagnosis of end-organ disease. HHV-6 reactivation may be restricted to the infected organ with no evidence of active infection in the blood. Read More ...

Professional antigen presenting cells (APC), i.e., dendritic cells, monocytes/macrophages, and B lymphocytes, are critically important in the recognition of an invading pathogen and presentation of antigens to the T cell-mediated arm of immunity. Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is one of the few human viruses that primarily targets these APC for infection, altering their cytokine profiles, manipulating their surface expression of MHC molecules and altering their ability to activate HHV-8 specific T cells. This could be why T cell responses to HHV-8 antigens are not very robust. Of these APC, only B cells support complete, lytic HHV-8 infection. However, both complete and abortive virus replication cycles in APC could directly affect viral pathogenesis and progression to Kaposis sarcoma (KS) and HHV-8 associated B cell cancers. In this review, we discuss the effects of HHV-8 infection on professional APC and their relationship to the development of KS and B cell lymphomas.

Integration of the complete human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) genome into the telomere of a chromosome has been reported in some individuals (inherited chromosomally integrated HHV-6; iciHHV-6). Since the proportion of iciHHV-6-positive individuals with integration in chromosome 22 is high in Japan, we hypothesized a founder effect. In this study, we sought to elucidate the reason for the high proportion of viral integrations into chromosome 22. We analyzed six cases of iciHHV-6A and two cases of iciHHV-6B, including one iciHHV-6A case with a matched sample from a father and one iciHHV-6B case with a matched sample from a mother. In iciHHV-6A, the same copy numbers of viral telomeric repeat sequences (TRS) and the same five microsatellite markers were detected in both the index case and paternal sample. Moreover, the same five microsatellite markers were demonstrated in four cases and the same copy numbers of viral TRS were demonstrated in two pairs of two cases. The present microsatellite analysis suggested

HHV-8 is sometimes called KS-associated herpes virus (KSHV).. HHV-8 is relatively common among men who have sex with men (MSM) and is generally uncommon in otherwise-healthy heterosexual men and women in high-income countries. HHV-8 is very likely spread by sexual contact. However, exactly which sexual behaviours spread HHV-8 is controversial and not clear.. HHV-8 is found in the saliva of infected people. Presumably such viruses are produced by HHV-8-infected B-cells found in the tonsils or nearby lymph nodes and tissues in the mouth and throat, or perhaps even in the cells lining the throat. These findings suggest that oral sex and other exposures to saliva (wet kissing, oral-anal contact) might be ways that HHV-8 is spread. However, researchers have not conducted the large, expensive and labour-intensive studies necessary to prove this.. In this issue of TreatmentUpdate, we discuss complications arising from HHV-8 infection.. - Sean R. Hosein. ...

Human Herpes virus-8 (HHV-8) is the known etiologic agent for several malignant pathologies, including Kaposis sarcoma (KS), the most common tumor in children in sub-Saharan Africa. Saliva is implicated as the culprit of transmission; however there is a paucity of information regarding transmission to young children. In this study, we investigated the hypothesis that household behaviors exposing the susceptible child to saliva increase the risk of transmission of HHV-8 to that child. To test our hypothesis a large prospective cohort study in Lusaka, Zambia, enrolling 464 young children and their households, was followed for 48 months. Socio-demographics, health histories, feeding and child-rearing behaviors were assessed. At enrollment, 75 HHV-8 positive children were analyzed for existing risk factors contributing to HHV-8 seropositivity. Analysis for independent variables found that for each additional HHV-8 positive household member, there was 2.5 greater odds for the child to be HHV-8 positive (P |

Herpesviruses 6, 7, and 8 are the most recently described members of the human herpesvirus family. Like other herpesviruses, they have the ability to establish a latent or persistent infection following primary infection, and reactivation may occur in healthy and immunocompromised people in response to different stimuli. A variety of methods are available or under development for the laboratory diagnosis of each virus, including viral isolation in cell culture, demonstration of viral antigens or nucleic acids in body fluids or tissues, and serology for detection of virus-specific antibodies. This chapter focuses on the immunologic and molecular diagnosis and monitoring of infections with human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), HHV-7, and HHV-8, and provides information on the unique features of the epidemiology and biological and clinical characteristics of these viruses.

More than 95% of the human population is infected with human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) during early childhood and maintains latent HHV-6 genomes either in an extra-chromosomal form or as a chromosomally integrated HHV-6 (ciHHV-6). In addition, approximately 1% of humans are born with an inheritable form of ciHHV-6 integrated into the telomeres of chromosomes. Immunosuppression and stress conditions can reactivate latent HHV-6 replication, which is associated with clinical complications and even death. We have previously shown that Chlamydia trachomatis infection reactivates ciHHV-6 and induces the formation of extra-chromosomal viral DNA in ciHHV-6 cells. Here, we propose a model and provide experimental evidence for the mechanism of ciHHV-6 reactivation. Infection with Chlamydia induced a transient shortening of telomeric ends, which subsequently led to increased telomeric circle (t-circle) formation and incomplete reconstitution of circular viral genomes containing single viral direct repeat (DR). ...

Our colleagues have developed a technique for rapidly and quantitatively detecting antibody responses in sera to a variety of antigens using recombinant proteins. We would like to apply this technique to develop an assay for detecting antibodies to HHV- 8 (KSHV, the etiologic agent of Kaposi s sarcoma, an AIDS-defining condition). In addition we would like to potentially measure antibody responses to HIV, other infectious agents, and human antigens, to see if antibodies (or high antibody titers) to these antigens are associated with Kaposi s sarcoma or HIV infection. We initially plan to examine samples from patients with Kaposi s sarcoma, since all those patients are almost certainly infected with HHV-8. We would subsequently plan to examine samples from HIV positive and HIV negative patients without known Kaposi s sarcoma. We are thus requesting permission to use samples from patients with and without previously diagnosed Kaposis Sarcoma. In addition to antibody testing, we would also like to ...

Human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) appears to be transmitted mainly by sexual contact. However, several studies suggest that in developing countries the infection may be acquired early in life by routes other than sexual transmission. The present study estimated the seroprevalence of HHV-8 in Brazilian children born to HIV-1-infected mothers. The serum samples were collected in a cross-sectional cohort study from 99 children born to HIV-infected mothers (median age 3.27 years; range 1.5-13.8 years) attending the outpatient clinic of the Federal University of São Paulo. IgG antibodies to HHV-8 latency-associated nuclear antigen and lytic phase antigens were detected by immunofluorescence assays. The samples tested were collected from children aged 12 months or older to exclude the possibility of cross-placental antibody transport. The total prevalence of anti-lytic antibodies in this population (5/99; 5%) reveals that HHV-8 infection can occur during childhood. Children aged 1.5 to 2 years had a ...

The various methods used for the diagnosis of HHV-6 include PCR, serology, viral culture, in situ hybridization, and immunohistochemistry. Since HHV-6 has the ability to persist and establish latency, the problem arises that diagnostic tests must be able to distinguish active viral replication from latent infection. Reverse transcription-PCR assays have been developed to detect the presence of viral mRNA, which constitutes a marker for active infection (44). The detection of immunoglobulin M or immunoglobulin G antibodies to HHV-6 in serum or CSF does not discriminate between active infection and latent/chronic persistent infection. The same is true for the detection of HHV-6 DNA by PCR in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), the site where the virus establishes latency. In these cases, HHV-6 DNA can be detected by PCR in PBMCs at low levels (9). Viral culture is a difficult and time-consuming process and is not routinely used in clinical laboratories to detect virus in CSF specimens. ...

Transcriptional activator of immediate-early (IE) gene products (alpha genes). Acts as a key activator of lytic infection by initiating the lytic program through the assembly of the transcriptional regulatory VP16-induced complex composed of VP16 and two cellular factors, HCFC1 and POU2F 1. VP16-induced complex represents a regulatory switch: when it is on, it promotes IE-gene expression and thus lytic infection, and when it is off, it limits IE-gene transcription favoring latent infection.

Human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) is one of nine known members of the Herpesviridae family that infects humans. HHV-7 is a member of Betaherpesviridae, a subfamily of the Herpesviridae that also includes HHV-6 and cytomegalovirus (HHV-5 or HCMV). HHV-7 often acts together with HHV-6, and the viruses together are sometimes referred to by their genus, Roseolovirus. HHV-7 was first isolated in 1990 from CD4+ T cells taken from peripheral blood lymphocytes. Both HHV-6B and HHV-7, as well as other viruses, can cause a skin condition in infants known as exanthema subitum, although HHV-7 causes the disease less frequently than HHV-6B. HHV-7 infection also leads to or is associated with a number of other symptoms, including acute febrile respiratory disease, fever, rash, vomiting, diarrhea, low lymphocyte counts, and febrile seizures, though most often no symptoms present at all. There are indications that HHV-7 can contribute to the development of drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome, encephalopathy, ...

Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) was first isolated from patients with lymphoproliferative disorders in 1986 and was initially named human B-lymphotropic virus (HBLV) (1). It was found to mainly infect and replicate in lymphocytes of T-cell lineage (2). Subsequently, several reports described the isolation of similar viruses mainly from patients with HIV/AIDS. The characterization of HHV-6 indicated that the virus was antigenically and genetically distinct from the other five known human herpesviruses (1, 3). HHV-6 isolates are classified into two closely related groups that have been named variants A (HHV-6A) and B (HHV-6B). Primary HHV-6B infection occurs during infancy. This virus was recognized as the causative agent of exanthem subitum (ES) in 1988 (4).

Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) belongs to the subfamily Betaherpesvirinae (30), which is represented by Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV). Both HHV-6 and HCMV establish latency in the monocyte/macrophage lineage (9, 17-19, 25, 33, 38), and during latent infection HHV-6 and HCMV express latency-associated transcripts that show similar features: (i) both transcripts contain open reading frames (ORFs) encoding immediate-early proteins IE1 and IE2 (20, 21) and (ii) both transcripts are expressed in a small proportion of latently infected cells (19, 20, 32). The function and expression profile of these transcripts have been unknown (24, 39).. In the present study, we first developed a sensitive method to detect the latency-associated transcripts of HHV-6 (H6LTs). Because productive-phase IE1 and IE2 transcripts share their entire sequences with H6LTs (Fig. 1), we previously used the 5′ rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) method to distinguish H6LTs from IE1 and IE2 transcripts (20). To increase the ...

The predominant types of dendritic cells (DC) in the skin and mucosa are Langerhans cells (LC) and interstitial dermal DC (iDDC). LC and iDDC process cutaneous antigens and migrate out of the skin and mucosa to the draining lymph nodes to present antigens to T and B cells. Because of the strategic location of LC and iDDC and the ability of these cells to capture and process pathogens, we hypothesized that they could be infected with human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) (Kaposis sarcoma [KS]-associated herpesvirus) and have an important role in the development of KS. We have previously shown that HHV-8 enters monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDC) through DC-SIGN, resulting in nonproductive infection. Here we show that LC and iDDC generated from pluripotent cord blood CD34(+) cell precursors support productive infection with HHV-8. Anti-DC-SIGN monoclonal antibody (MAb) inhibited HHV-8 infection of iDDC, as shown by low expression levels of viral proteins and DNA. In contrast, blocking of both langerin and the

Periodontitis is a multifactorial disease. It is a result of complex interplay of pathogens, host and environment. Among the pathogenic organisms, the role of bacteria is fully explained. However the recent researches have focussed on other pathogens in the etiopathogenesis of periodontal diseases. Several studies have proved the association between viruses and periodontal diseases especially human herpes virus (HHV).The main aim of this review is to summarizes the evidence that link various herpes viruses to periodontitis, and to explain the possible mechanisms behind this process.. ...

Roseola is a common viral infection that usually affects babies and toddlers. It typically causes a fever and a spotty rash for a few days.. While the rash may look alarming, roseola tends to be mild and you can normally look after your child at home. Theyll usually recover within a week.. Roseola can also affect older children and adults, but this is uncommon because most children will have been infected by the time they start nursery and its rare to get it more than once.. Roseola is also sometimes called roseola infantum or sixth disease.. This page covers:. Symptoms. How to treat it. When to call your GP. When to get emergency help. How to stop it spreading. ...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to simultaneously monitoring cytomegalovirus and individual herpesvirus 6 active infections using nested-polymerase chain reaction and, with clinical findings together, follow the clinical status of patients undergoing liver organ transplant. sufferers, median time for you to initial cytomegalovirus recognition was 29 times after transplantation (range: 0-99 times). Active infections by individual herpesvirus 6 was discovered in 12/30 (40%) sufferers, median time to first human herpesvirus 6 detection was 23.5 days after transplantation (range: 0-273 days). The time-related appearance of each virus was not statistically different (p?=?0.49). Rejection of the transplanted liver was observed in 16.7% (5/30) of the patients. The present analysis showed that human herpesvirus 6 and/or cytomegalovirus active infections were frequent in liver transplant recipients at our center. CONCLUSIONS: Few patients remain free of betaherpesviruses after liver transplantation. ...

Most children are seropositive to hhv-6, specifically roseola infantum by the age of 2 (Stoekle, M.Y. 2000). It is normally self-limiting but can be associated with febrile seizures in 6-15% during the febrile phase of the illness. Rarely, hhv-6 manifests as encephalitis and fulminant hepatitis (Lewis, 2007). So what does this have to do with the MMR vaccine? Well, it has and will be again, postulated that the MMR vaccine can either reactivate a latent hhv-6 or CMV infection or the MMR vaccine will act synergystically with hhv-6 or CMV infection to cause regressive autism. This is a preposterous notion predicated on the wild assumption that the MMR vaccine causes active measles infection and also that hhv-6 and CMV will somehow exhibit more severe pathology than has been observed. The other postulation is that some autism can be treated with anti-viral therapy. We searched Pubmed and the Cochrane database, but, not surprisingly, there is nothing to support this notion. It is hard to imagine ...

University of Washington. The University of Washingtons Department of Laboratory Medicine has now developed a whole blood qPCR for HHV-6 that aids in the diagnosis of ciHHV-6. The group is running this test in parallel with a newly developed rapid and accurate droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) assay for diagnosis of patients with ciHHV-6. Most quantitative PCR assays are not precise enough to give an accurate ratio of HHV-6 DNA copies per cell. The ddPCR can provide a ratio of HHV-6 DNA copies per cell with great precision, and will be the first clinical test in the USA able to determine definitively if a patient has ciHHV-6. Download the requisition form HERE.. Coppe Labs. In addition, three important tests for HHV-6 are available through Coppe Labs, including two assays that are not available commercially at any other location in the US: the mRNA test for assessing active infection and immunohistochemistry analysis for biopsy samples. The company utilizes the reverse transcription polymerase chain ...

Herpesviruses are found throughout the vertebrate animal kingdom, including many strains associated with reptiles, including IgHV-1 - iguanid herpesvirus, 1 (meaning that, so far, there is only one known strain, or species, of iguanid herpesvirus; to put this into perspective, only within the last few years have new human herpesviruses been found and identified - HHV6-9).. To be able to determine whether an animal has an HV infection, electron microscopy must be done on tissue samples taken from skin or organs. Histology and electron microscopy evaluations can also be done on negatively stained bodily fluids, such as saliva, urine and vesicular fluid.. Typically, as with the human herpesvirus H. simplex (HSVI; infection remains dormant in body; when activated, causes cold and canker sores in mouth and elsewhere on face, and in some cases elsewhere on the body; is different than HSVII, the HHV that causes genital herpes), the virus is dormant for long periods of time during which the host is ...

Our in vitro data agree well with those from previous reports (Manichanh et al., 2000) and show a consistent activity of foscarnet against HHV-6. For ganciclovir, a major variable in the determination of the antiviral activity and cytotoxicity is the cell system that is being used to propagate the virus (i.e., established continuous cell lines versus freshly isolated blood lymphocytes) (Manichanh et al., 2000). The most probable explanation for the reduced anti-HHV-6 activity of ganciclovir in tumor-derived T-cell lines is that higher levels of endogenous nucleotides are present in these cells than in fresh lymphocytes, resulting in a higher competition at the viral DNA polymerase level. Furthermore, in enzyme assays, HHV-6 DNA polymerase was shown to be 4- and 6-fold less sensitive to inhibition by ganciclovir triphosphate as compared with the DNA polymerases of HSV-1 and HCMV, respectively (Bapat et al., 1989). To some extent, this explains the lesser antiviral potency of ganciclovir in cells ...

Objective: The possible role of Human Herpes Virus-6 in cardiac disorders in childhood was explored in a retrospective study on archival specimens of explanted hearts.. Methods: 16 children (median age at transplantation 11.0 years) with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and 19 children (median age at transplantation 1.0 year) with congenital heart disease (CHD), previously found negative for other cardiotropic viruses such as Enteroviruses, Adenovirus, Parvovirus B19, CMV, and EBV, were tested for HHV-6 by quantitative Real-Time PCR and by genotyping. In addition, HHV-7/8 infection was investigated by qualitative PCR.. Results: HHV-6 B variant was detected in 11 out of 35 samples (31.4%) with a mean viral load of 3.15 x102 copies/µg of cellular DNA. When assessed by heart disorder, the prevalence was different in the two groups (i.e. 43.7% in DCM and 21% in CHD) while the mean viral loads were similar. In a logistic multivariate analysis HHV-6 was independently associated with DCM taking ...

Ultrastructurally, herpes virus particles were detected in neurons of the brain. Immunohistochemistry with antisera specific for human herpes virus types 1 and 2 resulted in viral antigen labeling in neurons, glial cells and in neuronal processes. Viral antigen was found in the rhinencephalon, cerebral cortices, hippocampus, numerous nuclei of the brain stem, single foci in the cerebellum, and in a solitary erosive lesion of the right nasal vestibulum. Viral antigen was not detected in the eyes. The virus was isolated from the CNS, and nucleic acid sequence analysis of the glycoprotein B and the DNA polymerase revealed a sequence homology with human herpes virus type 1 of 99% and 100%, respectively. The clinical signs, the distribution of the lesions and the viral antigen suggest a primary ocular infection with subsequent spread to the CNS. Chinchillas are susceptible to human herpes virus 1 and may play a role as a temporary reservoir for human infections ...

HHV-6 has a very high prevalence (close to 100% of the worlds population has been exposed).It is transmitted mainly by saliva. Transmission occurs usually within the first two years of life; primary infection is often associated with a febrile condition and sometimes with the onset of roseola (exanthem subitum). Two variants of the virus are known, HHV-6A and HHV-6B. HHV-6 is mainly lymphotropic, infecting a broad range of immune cells including T cells, monocytes, NK cells; however the virus can also infect many other tissues such as brain or liver.. HHV-6 has immunomodulatory effects, including suppression of T-cell proliferation and alteration of cytokine production. This immunosuppression may favor the development or progression of other viral infections such as CMV, EBV or HIV.. Several studies have reported a possible link between HHV-6 and multiple sclerosis (MS).Expression of HHV-6 proteins is observed at the site of MS lesions; cell-free HHV-6 DNA has been detected in the serum of MS ...

Different types of samples (41 saliva, 48 tissues, 26 PBMC, and 27 plasma) obtained from each individual were tested at the same time. PBMC and plasma were obtained by separation of 20 mL of citrated whole blood using a Ficoll separation gradient (SIGMA, UK). Paraffin was removed from tissues by xylene treatment according to published protocols [1]. DNA extraction was performed using the QIAamp® DNA Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Germany) and the genomic DNA (gDNA) concentration was determined using spectrophotometer (GeneQuant II, Pharmacia Biotech, EUA) and adjusted to 100 ng, with the exception of plasma where 10 uL were directly used since it was not possible to quantify the gDNA. In order to obtain the standard DNA for absolute quantification, gDNA was extracted from the BCBL-1 cell line and the DNA copy numbers was determined by spectrophotometer as well. Then, the OD concentration was converted to DNA copy number following methods published elsewhere [2]. Once the gDNA copy number from BCBL-1 cell ...

Kaposi sarcoma (KS), a potentially fatal cancer especially in immunodeficient individuals, is caused by human herpes virus-8 (HHV-8), a carcinogenic agent declared by the World Health Organization. Human genetic variability may account for the variability in the clinical outcome of HHV-8 infection. Dr. Jackson aims to discover novel genetic alterations underlying childhood KS and to understand how specific gene defects drive KS in conjunction with HHV-8. This work will identify molecular pathways of impaired antiviral immunity or tumor suppression, consequently broadening our understanding of virus-driven cancers. The genetic study of KS in childhood may provide new insights into the pathogenesis of KS, and aid in developing potential future therapeutics. It will also benefit children at risk of KS in regions of the world where the prevalence of HHV-8 is high.. ...

Adverse drug reactions (ADR) can be broadly categorised as either on-target or off-target. On-target ADRs arise as a direct consequence of the pharmacological properties of the drug and are therefore predictable and dose dependant. On-target ADRs comprise the majority (,80%) of ADRs, relate to the drugs interaction with its known pharmacological target and are a result of a complex interplay of genetic and ecologic factors. In contrast off-target ADRs, including immune mediated ADRs (IM-ADRs), are due to unintended pharmacological interactions such as inadvertent ligation of host cell receptors or non-pharmacological interactions mediated through an adaptive immune response ...

Fatal myocarditis is a rare complication in immunosuppressed children. Recent reports have linked human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) infection, typically a benign infection in childhood, with myocarditis. HHV-6 can reactivate during periods of immunosuppression. Here, we report 2 cases in which children we …

Most studies suggest that around 0.8 percent of the U.S. and U.K. population is CIHHV6 positive, thus carrying a copy of HHV-6 in each cell. While most CIHHV-6 individuals appear healthy, they may be less able to defend themselves against other strains of HHV-6 that they might encounter. Medveczky reports that some of these individuals suffer from a CFS-like illness. In a cohort of CFS patients with serious neurological symptoms, the researchers found that the prevalence of CIHHV-6 was over 2 percent, or more than twice the level found in the general public. In light of this finding, the authors of the study suggest naming this sub-category of CFS Inherited Human Herpesvirus 6 Syndrome, or IHS ...

Otherwise known as baby measles, this common infection causes a typical illness between the ages of 6 to 15 months of age. It ranges from mild symptoms to a full blown illness with marked fever and a characteristic rash. Once the rash appears, everyone can relax as the fever usually resolves. It is due to human herpes virus 6 and occasionally HHV7.. ...
