Human Herpesvirus 6 DNA in Plasma after Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation: Incidence and Clinical Significance
5 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is increasingly recognized as an opportunistic and potentially life-threatening pathogen in recipients of allogeneic stem cell transplants (SCTs). METHODS: To clarify the incidence and clinical relevance of active HHV-6 infection, serial titers of plasma HHV-6 DNA were determined for 50 allogeneic SCT recipients, using real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: HHV-6 DNA...
