Abstract:
The molecular, biological and immunological studies of the recently identified human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) suggest that the virus is involved in the etiology of at least three lymphoproliferative diseases. Furthermore, HHV-6 may be an important cofactor in the pathogenesis of several other diseases, including HIV-associated disease and some cancers, but further investigation is needed to establish a causal relationship.
