We report a case of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) encephalomyelitis in an immunocompetent patient, which was confirmed by viral amplification from cerebrospinal fluid. Cidofovir was used, followed by ganciclovir, because of an adverse effect to probenecid. The patient recovered. HHV-6 should be recognized as one of the causes of encephalomyelitis.
我们报告一例免疫功能正常患者的人疱疹病毒6型(HHV-6)脑脊髓炎,该病例经脑脊液病毒扩增得以确诊。因对丙磺舒有不良反应,故先使用西多福韦,后使用更昔洛韦。患者康复。HHV-6应被视为脑脊髓炎的病因之一。
