Laboratory and Clinical Aspects of Human Herpesvirus 6 Infections. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25762531   Clin Microbiol Rev. 2015 Apr;28(2):313-335. Agut H 1 , Bonnafous P 2 , Gautheret-Dejean A 3 . Abstract Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is a widespread betaherpesvirus which is genetically related to human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and now encompasses two different species: HHV-6A and HHV-6B. HHV-6 exhibits a wide cell tropism in vivo and, like other herpesviruses, induces a lifelong latent infection in humans. As a noticeable difference with respect to other human herpesviruses , genomic HHV-6 DNA is covalently integrated into the subtelomeric region of cell chromosomes (ciHHV-6) in about 1% of the general population. Although it is infrequent, this may be a confounding factor for the diagnosis of active viral infection. The diagnosis of HHV-6 infection is performed by both serologic and direct methods. The most prominent technique is the quantific...

Long considered two variants of the same virus, HHV-6A and HHV-6B have recently been reclassified as distinct viral species, although the established nomenclature has been maintained. In this review, we summarize the distinctive profiles of interaction of these two viruses with the human immune system. Both HHV-6A and HHV-6B display a tropism for CD4 + T lymphocytes, but they can also infect, in a productive or nonproductive fashion, other cells of the immune system. However, there are...

If you like our cartoons, you'll love Julian Lake's collection: The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Follies: Cartoons about an epidemic of lies. [Kindle Edition available on Kindle Unlimited] The title of this collection of cartoons by Julian Lake was inspired by the The March of Folly , a stunning work by the late Barbara Tuchman. To try and explain why certain political disasters in history have occurred, Tuchman uses the very apt construct of "folly," which she defines as the "pursuit of policy contrary to the self-interest of the constituency or state involved." Tuchman analyzes four periods in history that are characterized by enormous folly. Julian Lake's collection is in many ways about a fifth example of such a phenomenon. Surely the last two decades in which so-called "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" has been called "mysterious" over and over in a cult-like manner (and in the manner of the Big Lie)...
