HHV-6 was found to be significantly correlated with nerve fiber damage severity by Latvian investigators. 51% of fibromyalgia patients had detectable HHV-6 DNA in whole blood compared to just 6% of controls.
Cancer related fatigue and HHV-6 & HHV-7 saliva DNA levels
Investigators from Japan looked at HHV-6 and HHV-7 DNA levels in saliva to see if they might be biomarkers for cancer-related fatigue (CRF) in multiple myeloma patients.
Antibodies to herpesvirus dUTPase a potential biomarker for Gulf War Illness and CFS
Antibodies to HHV-6 and VZV dUTPases were significantly elevated in Gulf War Illness patients compared to controls, and EBV dUTPase antibodies were elevated in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients.
Delirium associated with HHV-6B reactivation in cord blood transplant patients: time for an antiviral prophylaxis trial?
A prospective study authored by Joshua Hill and Danielle Zerr determined that higher than average HHV-6B DNA levels increased the odds of developing delirium after cord blood transplantation (CBT) by almost three fold. Patients with DNA loads in the top quartile had a 4.5 fold increase in delirium.
Valganciclovir shows promise during first randomized clinical trial for treatment of HHV-6 & EBV in CFS patients
Stanford clinical trial indicates that VGCV may have a clinical benefit among a subset of CFS patients with HHV-6 and EBV infection
CFS patients with ciHHV-6 may benefit from antiviral treatment
Researchers at the University Of South Florida’s Morsani College Of Medicine have published findings that suggest ciHHV-6 is the possible cause of some CFS cases
CFS: a herpesvirus infection of the vagus nerve?
A new theory suggests CFS may be the result of a pathological infection of the vagus nerve.
New HHV-6 species-specific serological assay developed
This new assay will hopefully open the door for increased exploration into the seroepidemiology of HHV-6A and HHV-6B infection.
HHV-6 induces oxidative stress and chlamydial persistence
Findings indicate that HHV-6 infection leads to decreased glutathione production, increased oxidative stress, and induces chlamydial persistence during co-infection
