Human herpesvirus 6 variant B (HHV-6B) infection was studied in 23 adult patients who underwent cord blood transplantation (CBT). HHV-6B DNA was detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis after CBT in the sera from 15 patients (65%) at day 14 or 15 (week 2), from 16 patients (70%) at day 21 or 22 (week 3), and from 3 patients (13%) at day 28 or 29 (week 4). HHV-6B DNAemia was found in none of the 20 patients examined at day 7 or 8 (week 1). The overall incidence of HHV-6B DNAemia reached 87% (20 of 23 patients). This incidence was much higher than after unrelated bone marrow transplantation (19%, P < .0001). In CBT patients, positive HHV-6B DNAemia at week 3 was significantly associated with early skin rash (88% versus 14%, P < .005) and grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) (69% versus 14%, P < .05). In contrast, positive HHV-6B DNAemia at week 2 was associated with neither skin rash nor aGVHD. Prospective large-scale studies are needed to determine the role of HHV-6 infection in CBT patients.
对23例接受脐血移植(CBT)的成年患者进行了人疱疹病毒6型B(HHV-6B)感染研究。脐血移植后,通过定量聚合酶链反应分析在第14或15天(第2周)从15例患者(65%)的血清中检测到HHV-6B DNA,在第21或22天(第3周)从16例患者(70%)的血清中检测到,在第28或29天(第4周)从3例患者(13%)的血清中检测到。在第7或8天(第1周)检查的20例患者中均未发现HHV-6B病毒血症。HHV-6B病毒血症的总体发生率达到87%(23例患者中的20例)。这一发生率远高于无关供体骨髓移植后的发生率(19%,P <.0001)。在接受脐血移植的患者中,第3周HHV-6B病毒血症阳性与早期皮疹(88%对14%,P <.005)和II-IV级急性移植物抗宿主病(aGVHD)(69%对14%,P <.05)显著相关。相比之下,第2周HHV-6B病毒血症阳性与皮疹和aGVHD均无关。需要进行前瞻性大规模研究以确定HHV-6感染在接受脐血移植患者中的作用。
