A 26-year-old female was admitted because of multiple fractures in lower extremities. While in the hospital, she developed a high fever and generalized skin eruption. Physical examination revealed bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy and mild hepatosplenomegaly. The white cell count was 11,200 with 11% atypical lymphocytes. Serum GOT, GPT, LDH were markedly elevated. Infectious mononucleosis was suspected, but the serological test for EB virus did not show evidence of acute EB virus infection. Anti-HSV, CMV, hepatitis A virus antibody titers also did not show significant change during the coarse. The serological test for HHV-6 only showed increased titer of IgM and IgG antibodies. Rapidly elevated IgG antibody titer was indicative of reactivation of HHV-6. So, she was diagnosed as mononucleosis-like syndrome caused by HHV-6, probably reactivated infection. Her symptoms gradually disappeared during a month.

D015654 Herpesvirus 6, Human 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.
