The Herpesviridae family consists of DNA viruses that cause diseases in humans and other animals. This family is comprised of eight distinct viruses: HHV-1–HHV-8. Human herpes virus type 6 (HHV-6) and HHV-7 are associated with febrile illnesses and the childhood disease exanthem subitum, while HHV-8 resembles the Epstein-Barr virus in its possible transforming properties and may play a role in lymphomas and Kaposi's sarcoma. HHV-6, a newly described β-herpesvirus that shares homology with cytomegalovirus (CMV), consists of two closely related variants: HHV-6A and HHV-6B. HHV-6 infection is followed by persistence and latency in different tissues including monocytes/macrophages, salivary glands, brain and kidney. HHV-6 activation may play a role in the pathogenesis of certain demyelinative diseases such as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) and multiple sclerosis (MS). HHV-6 DNA is normally found as a marker of active viral infection in serum samples of MS patients.
