Human herpesvirus-6 meningoencephalitis in a recipient of an unrelated allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) has been implicated in bone marrow suppression, interstitial pneumonitis, and fatal meningoencephalitis in bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients. METHODS:We describe the case of a woman with acute myeloid leukemia in second remission who developed febrile meningoencephalitis 8 months after a second unrelated BMT. RESULTS:Computed tomography and magnetic resonance images of the brain were nonspecific. Analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) revealed lymphocytosis and an increased protein level. Using polymerase chain reaction methods, HHV-6 was the only pathogen detected in CSF, peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and bone marrow. The patient was treated with ganciclovir and foscarnet for 3 months. All clinical manifestations resolved and HHV-6 polymerase chain reaction analysis of CSF became negative 40 days after the beginning of antiviral treatment. CONCLUSIONS:This observation strongly suggests that HHV-6 should be sought in BMT patients with neurological complications and that HHV-6 meningoencephalitis may respond to ganciclovir and foscarnet therapy.

  • Immunologic pathways in a quantitative model of immunosuppression based on rejection of an allogeneic or xenogeneic tumor graft.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:A quantitative model of immunosuppression was previously developed based on the rejection of the allogeneic A/J murine tumor sarcoma 1 (Sa1) in immunocompetent mice. Here, the model is used to evaluate the immunologic mechanisms of graft rejection and to determine the potential of this model to detect synerg...
