We describe 4 patients with encephalitis due to possible reactivation of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) infection who were enrolled in the California Encephalitis Project. All were immunocompetent and had HHV-6 loads determined in cerebrospinal fluid specimens. Tests for detection of HHV-6 should be considered for individuals with encephalitis.
我们描述了4例因人类疱疹病毒6型(HHV-6)感染可能重新激活而导致脑炎的患者,这些患者参加了加利福尼亚脑炎项目。所有患者免疫功能正常,且均对脑脊液标本进行了HHV-6载量测定。对于患有脑炎的个体,应考虑进行HHV-6检测。
