Transmission of Integrated Human Herpesvirus 6 through Stem Cell Transplantation: Implications for Laboratory Diagnosis
6 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
We identified a stem cell donor with chromosomally integrated human herpesvirus (HHV)-6 and monitored the recipient for HHV-6 after transplantation. The appearance and subsequent increase in HHV-6 load paralleled engraftment and an increase in white blood cell count. Fluorescent in situ hybridization analysis showed integrated HHV-6 on chromosome band 17p13.3 in the donor and in the recipient after...
