Abstract

Close
- Cases of human herpesvirus type 6 (HHV-6) infection and disease were retrospectively analysed in a cohort of 97 allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) patients in Gothenburg, Sweden (1997-2001). Altogether 54 of 97 (56%) patients were tested for HHV-6. HHV-6 DNAemia was detected in 15 of the tested patients at a median of 76 (range 24-387) days after SCT. Nine of these patients were treated against HHV-6 infection and disease for a total of 11 treatment episodes. The morbidity associated with HHV-6 DNAemia following allo-SCT was in most cases moderate. The overall 1-y survival among the patients with HHV-6 DNAemia was 11/15 (73%) and the 5-y survival was 10/15 (67%), which was not significantly different from the whole cohort.
