The beta-herpesviruses, human herpesviruses-6 and -7 (HHV-6 and HHV-7), are closely related and have very similar biological behaviour. While HHV-6 is associated with encephalitis in immunosuppressed adults, HHV-7 is not recognised as a cause of neurological disease in such patients. This report describes the identification of a reactivated HHV-7 infection in the cerebrospinal fluid of an adult who presented with an acute myelitis 11 months after unrelated donor bone marrow transplant.
β疱疹病毒，即人类疱疹病毒6型和7型（HHV-6和HHV-7），关系密切且具有非常相似的生物学行为。虽然HHV-6与免疫抑制成人的脑炎有关，但HHV-7在这类患者中不被认为是神经疾病的病因。本报告描述了一名成人在接受无关供体骨髓移植11个月后出现急性脊髓炎，其脑脊液中重新激活的HHV-7感染的鉴定情况。
