Случай хромосомно-интегрированного вируса герпеса человека 6В типа у часто длительно болеющего ребенка

The five years old boy with recurrent respiratory tract infections was under observation of infectiologist due to high levels of human herpes virus type 6 (HHV-6), found in patient’s blood and saliva during a few years. The patient got the medicines against the HHV-6, without any effect. We investigated the patient’s and his mom’s nails and found the HHV-6 type B, so it was inherited chromosomal integrated HHV-6. Thus, to avoid the unnecessary treatment, in case of repeated high level of HHV-6, we need to exclude chromosomal integrated HHV-6.
