## Abstract The presence of human herpesvirus 6 (HHVβ6) in brain tissues of 40 consecutive postβmortem cases was examined. For each case, autopsy samples were collected from the cerebellum, frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital lobes of both sides of the brain. HHVβ6 DNA was detected by nested
An HHV-6 variant A infection is described in a 75 year-old man in association with meningoencephalitis identified at autopsy. The patient presented with fever and anorexia, then he developed altered consciousness, motor weakness, progressive lethargy, and coma, and died 21 days after hospital admiss
## Abstract Human herpesvirus 6, HHVβ6, commonly infects children, causing febrile illness and can cause more severe pathology, especially in an immune compromised setting. There are virulence distinctions between variants HHVβ6A and B, with evidence for increased severity and neurotropism for HHVβ
## Abstract The etiology of multiple sclerosis (MS) remains unknown, but there are indications of a role of human herpesvirus 6 (HHVβ6), especially variant A, in the pathogenesis. Higher serum antibody reactivity against an HHVβ6 early protein, p41, has been found in MS cases than in controls. The
This report describes the characterization of Parkville virus, the etiologic agent of an outbreak of foodborne gastroenteritis, that has the morphology of a calicivirus and genetic properties that distinguish it from previously identified strains in the Sapporo/Manchester virus clade. Sequence analy
