Human Herpesvirus (HHV)–6 and HHV–7: Two Closely Related Viruses with Different Infection Profiles in Stem Cell Transplantation Recipients

TL;DR: Human herpesvirus (HHV)-6 and HHV-7 loads were evaluated retrospectively in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from 78 recipients of stem cell transplantation (SCT) by real-time polymerase chain reaction, and the kinetics of Roseolovirus loads during the posttransplantation period suggested that HHv-7 may act as a cofactor ofHHV-6 reactivation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multicenter Comparison of PCR Assays for Detection of Human Herpesvirus 6 DNA in Serum

TL;DR: It is proposed that investigators interested in quantifying HHV-6 in clinical samples adopt one of these assays, and three TaqMan-based real-time PCR assays yielded quantities that were closest to the quantity of HHv-6 that had been spiked.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of human herpesvirus 6 variants A and B by primer-specific real-time PCR may help to revisit their respective role in pathology

TL;DR: The wide prevalence of HHV-6B is confirmed and the potential greater neuropathogenic role of HHv-6A is highlighted in immunocompromised patients and young infants, and a new real-time variant-specific PCR method is developed, able to differentiate both variants in biological samples, even in the case of mixed infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) DNA in plasma reflects the presence of infected blood cells rather than circulating viral particles.

TL;DR: Data tend to favour the hypothesis of a release of HHV-6 and cellular DNA into plasma following the lysis of infected PBMCs, as well as in corresponding peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) using specific real-time PCR.
