Scope note: Especie tipo de ROSEOLOVIRUS aislada de pacientes con SIDA y otros TRASTORNOS LINFOPROLIFERATIVOS. Infecta y se replica en líneas celulares frescas y establecidas de células hematopoyéticas y de origen neural. También parece que altera la actividad de los linfocitos NK. Los anticuerpos anti HHV-6 (HBLV) están elevados en los pacientes con SIDA, síndrome de Sjögren, sarcoidosis, síndrome de fatiga crónica, y en ciertos tumores malignos. El HHV-6 es la causa del EXANTEMA SÚBITO y ha sido implicado en encefalitis.

Scope note: Members of the ROSEOLOVIRUS genus of the Betaherpesvirales subfamily isolated from patients with AIDS and other LYMPHOPROLIFERATIVE DISORDERS. It infects and replicates in fresh and established lines of hematopoietic cells and cells of neural origin. It also appears to alter the activity of NK CELLS. HHV-6; (HBLV) antibodies are elevated in patients with AIDS; SJOGREN'S SYNDROME; SARCOIDOSIS; CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME, and certain malignancies. HHV-6A is the most common cause of EXANTHEMA SUBITUM and has been implicated in encephalitis. When HHV-6 integrates into the host genome it is referred to as ciHVH-6. When such VIRUS INTEGRATION occurs into the germline it is referred to as iciHHV-6.
