Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="tid12419-abs-0001"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>We analyzed 3 hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients with inherited chromosomally integrated human herpesvirus‐6 (inherited CIHHV‐6). Cases 1 (inherited CIHHV‐6A) and 2 (inherited CIHHV‐6B) were inherited CIHHV‐6 recipients. Case 3 received bone marrow from a donor with inherited CIHHV‐6B. Following HSCT, HHV‐6B was isolated from Case 1. HHV‐6A and ‐6B messenger RNAs were detected in Cases 1 and 3.</p> </abstract>
