• Antibodies to HHV-6 during acute COVID-19 may help predict development of Long COVID

    Autoantibodies directed against neural targets have most predictive power.

  • iciHHV-6B linked to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in Japanese and European populations

    iciHHV-6B, when integrated into chromosome 22q, was strongly associated with SLE and with SLE severity.

  • HHV-6 linked to miscarriage through Mendelian randomization studies

    The findings are consistent with previous studies directly linking HHV-6 endometrial infection to miscarriage.

  • Finnish investigators find unexpected evidence of HHV-6B integration into mitochondrial DNA

    Could HHV-6B infection exacerbate mitochondrial disease?

HHV-6 is the most common virus found in trigeminal and facial nerves

In All, Bell's Palsy by Kristin LoomisFebruary 22, 2019

Herpesviruses are common in the trigeminal and facial ganglia, latently infecting 64% of cases. HHV-6 was the most commonly identified herpesvirus in these tissues — about half of all autopsy specimens were found to have the virus in trigeminal and/or facial ganglia.

ABOUT THE HHV-6 FOUNDATION

The HHV-6 Foundation in a non-profit entity founded to encourage scientific exchange between investigators and to provide pilot grants for promising scientific and clinical research on the under- appreciated viruses HHV-6A and HHV-6B.

The Foundation sponsors international conferences and supports scientists and clinicians seeking to clarify the role of the two HHV-6 viruses in disease. Since HHV-6A and HHV-6B can smolder in the brain and other organs without circulating in the peripheral blood or plasma, identifying chronic infection is a challenge.
