Rely-AMP HHV6

The Herpesviridae is a large family of DNA viruses, including  human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6). Infection with HHV-6 results in exanthem subitum in infants and is associated with severe diseases (encephalitis and pneumonitis) in immunocompromised patients. HHV-6 re-activation causes severe disease in transplant recipients and can lead to graft rejection, often in consort with other betaherpesviridae. Likewise in HIV/AIDS, HHV-6 re-activations cause disseminated infections leading to end organ disease and death.

HHV-6 has been reported in multiple sclerosis patients and has been implicated as a co-factor in several other diseases, including chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.
