Human Herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) research has evolved substantially over recent decades, elucidating key aspects of viral behaviour, host integration and clinical impact.

Herpes, beyond skin manifestations, potentially impacts neurological and psychological health, with HHV-6 linked to mood ...

Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) causes a febrile illness in children and has been implicated as a cause of encephalitis and recurrent seizures. Paired samples of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and peripheral ...

To evaluate a possible role for Human Herpesvirus-type 6 (HHV-6) coinfection as a co-factor in the progression of HIV-1 disease, we investigated the prevalence of seropositivity for HHV-6 in a cohort ...

Like other herpes viruses, human herpes virus (HHV)-6 remains in a latent state after primary infection. Reactivation of infection can occur in immunodeficient situations 1, 2 and causes fever ...

As early as the 1990s, researchers proposed that a very common type of herpes virus—then known as human herpesvirus 6 (HHV6)—could be somehow involved in the development of multiple sclerosis, a ...

Since then, the old viral hypothesis has had a new lease of life. And the new research did find human herpes virus DNA and RNA were both more abundant in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease.

New research from the University of Rochester Medical Center shows that some parents pass on the human herpes virus 6 (HHV-6) to their children because it is integrated into their chromosomes.
