Inherited Chromosomally Integrated HHV-6 as a Diagnostic Pitfall: Two Cases of Persistent HHV-6 DNA Detection

2026-09-01

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Inherited chromosomally integrated human herpesvirus 6 (iciHHV-6) is a rare condition in which the complete HHV-6 genome is integrated into human germline DNA and vertically transmitted across generations. We describe two neuro-ophthalmological cases (optic neuritis and idiopathic intracranial hypertension) in which detection of HHV-6 DNA led to delayed diagnosis and unnecessary antivir...
