Human Herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) necrotizing encephalitis, a rare condition in immunocompromised patients: The importance of brain biopsy associated with HHV-6 testing.

Roseoloviruses are ubiquitous worldwide. Its infection in children is very common causing a disease named as Roseola infantum. It appears that most of the children are still being suffered by the same disease without any proper treatment all over the world. And, the situation becomes worst when these latent viruses reactivated in future to develop disease complications and cancer in human. The Present review is an attempt to describe Roseoloviruses causing diseases including cancer in human in the light of recent researches done so far in the past.

Recent trends in the study of Roseoloviruses causing diseases, complications and cancer in human

Few studies have examined the prevalence and cellular proclivity of latent human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) in healthy populations. Difficulties in detection of HHV-6 genome in different tissues using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) techniques have been reported by various researchers. We examined tonsils and adenoid tissues of 54 patients who had undergone tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy without any evidence of acute infection for the presence of latent HHV-6 infection. While we were investigating the prevalence of HHV-6, we tested the efficiency of PCR, IHC and Western Blot (WB) for detection of HHV-6 in tonsil tissues. We found that 100% of tonsil tissues were positive for HHV-6 with WB, 40% of tonsils were positive with PCR and no tonsil was positive with IHC. This result correlates well with most studies claiming HHV-6 is a ubiquitous organism in various populations and tissues. Western blot may be a good choice for detecting HHV-6 in tissues. Expression of the HHV-6 gp60/110 envelope protein disclosed by WB may indicate that HHV-6 does not have true latency. To our knowledge, this is the first report to use WB to test for HHV-6 in tissues.

HHV-6 is ubiquitously found using Western blot in tonsils and adenoid tissues of healthy people.
