MeSH Heading: Herpesvirus 6, Human
Tree Number(s): B04.280.382.150.750.400
Unique ID: D015654
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D015654
Annotation: infection: coordinate IM with ROSEOLOVIRUS INFECTIONS (IM) but consider also EXANTHEMA SUBITUM
Scope Note: Members of the ROSEOLOVIRUS genus of the Betaherpesvirales subfamily isolated from patients with AIDS and other LYMPHOPROLIFERATIVE DISORDERS. It infects and replicates in fresh and established lines of hematopoietic cells and cells of neural origin. It also appears to alter the activity of NK CELLS. HHV-6; (HBLV) antibodies are elevated in patients with AIDS; SJOGREN'S SYNDROME; SARCOIDOSIS; CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME, and certain malignancies. HHV-6A is the most common cause of EXANTHEMA SUBITUM and has been implicated in encephalitis. When HHV-6 integrates into the host genome it is referred to as ciHVH-6. When such VIRUS INTEGRATION occurs into the germline it is referred to as iciHHV-6.
