Evidence of human herpesvirus 6 infection in 4 immunocompetent patients with encephalitis

Erin Isaacson et al. Clin Infect Dis. .

Abstract

We describe 4 patients with encephalitis due to possible reactivation of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) infection who were enrolled in the California Encephalitis Project. All were immunocompetent and had HHV-6 loads determined in cerebrospinal fluid specimens. Tests for detection of HHV-6 should be considered for individuals with encephalitis.
