The presence and distribution of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), as well as human herpesvirus-6 and-8 (HHV-6 and HHV-8) was investigated by polymerase chain reaction in 191 samples from a variety of lymphoproliferative disorders. HHV-6 DNA was detected in 18% (30 of 169) of non-HHV-8 related lymphoproliferative disorders, with the highest frequency in AIDS-related lymphomas (8 of 25, 32%). In contrast, HHV-6 DNA was present in less than 5% (1 of 22) of HHV-8 related lymphoproliferative disorders [21 primary effusion lymphomas (PEL), and 1 cases of Castleman disease]. As compared to HHV-6, EBV DNA was frequently detected in PEL (11 of 19 samples, 58%). This study suggests that transformation to PEL is not enhanced by HHV-6, furthermore HHV-6 and -8 may interfere with each other.
通过聚合酶链反应对191份来自各种淋巴增殖性疾病的样本进行研究,以检测爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒(EBV)以及人类疱疹病毒6型和8型(HHV-6和HHV-8)的存在和分布情况。在169例与HHV-8无关的淋巴增殖性疾病中,18%(169例中的30例)检测到HHV-6 DNA,在艾滋病相关淋巴瘤中频率最高(25例中的8例,32%)。相比之下,在22例与HHV-8相关的淋巴增殖性疾病[21例原发性渗出性淋巴瘤(PEL)和1例卡斯特曼病]中,HHV-6 DNA的存在率不到5%(22例中的1例)。与HHV-6相比,在PEL中经常检测到EBV DNA(19份样本中的11份,58%)。该研究表明,HHV-6不会增强向PEL的转化,此外,HHV-6和HHV-8可能会相互干扰。
