Human herpesviruses 6 (HHV-6) A and B cause encephalitis in patients with hematologic malignancies, especially those undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In this cohort of 10 patients, persistent neurologic deficits associated with moderate to severe bilateral hippocampal atrophy were characteristic long-term findings, despite prolonged antiviral treatment.
人类疱疹病毒6型(HHV-6)A和B可导致血液系统恶性肿瘤患者发生脑炎,尤其是那些接受异基因造血干细胞移植的患者。在这个由10名患者组成的队列中,尽管进行了长期抗病毒治疗,但与中度至重度双侧海马萎缩相关的持续性神经功能缺损是典型的长期表现。
