Is HHV-6 a major issue in Covid-19 ICU patients?





Intensive care (ICU) patients with co-infections of HHV-6 and CMV are 7.5x more likely to die or have an extended stay in the hospital (95% confidence interval, 1.9-29.9), according to investigators at the University of Washington who studied viremia in 115 acutely ill adults

Reactivation of human beta-herpesviruses (cytomegalovirus [CMV], human herpesvirus [HHV]-6, and HHV-7) in nonimmunocompromised hosts is rare. Because these viruses are susceptible to reactivation by cytokines and stress-related mechanisms, the incidence of their reactivation was investigated among 120 patients during stress related to critical illness and compared with findings among 50 healthy volunteers. Human beta-herpesvirus DNA was found in 65% of critically ill patients (60% men; mean age, 63 years) who required admission to an intensive care unit for medical (40%) or surgical (53%) indications or trauma (7%). HHV-6 reactivation was higher in critically ill patients than in healthy volunteers (54/101 vs. 0/50; P=.001). All patients except 1 were confirmed as HHV-6 variant A (mean virus load, 5066 copies/10(6) peripheral blood leukocytes). The reactivation of HHV-6A did not affect disease severity and outcome. No significant reactivation of HHV-7 or CMV was demonstrated among the critically ill pa

" A new study finds that prior herpesvirus infections are linked to a faster age-related increase in blood biomarkers associated with dementia, even in cognitively healthy women. Researchers measured five key biomarkers in 167 women and found that seropositivity for HHVs doubled the rate of biomarker accumulation compared to those without prior infection. The strongest viral associations were seen for Epstein-Barr virus and HHV6, with amyloid-beta and phosphorylated tau levels most affected. These findings support the hypothesis that chronic viral infections may accelerate neurodegeneration and raise dementia risk independently of genetic factors."
