Article Abstract

A sulfasalazine-induced DRESS (Drug Reactivation with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms) was complicated by a Crohn's-like colitis. We demonstrated HHV-6 reactivation with presence of HHV-6 DNA and small noncoding RNA in colonic lesions. This observation confirms the major role of HHV-6 reactivation in DRESS manifestations and the importance of looking for HHV-6 reactivation in DRESS.

B cell dysregulation during acute COVID-19 is transient.

Background: COVID-19 is still a significant health concern worldwide. B cell responses to COVID-19 have been extensively studied in acute severe disease, but less so during extended follow-up or mild disease. Persisting immunological changes together with herpesvirus reactivations during acute COVID-19 have been suggested as contributing factors for post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC).

Human herpesvirus-6B (HHV-6B) reactivation is a significant contributor to nonrelapse mortality following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). This retrospective analysis describes three cases of HHV-6B reactivation following allo-HSCT, all of which achieved viral clearance with maribavir treatment following failure or intolerance to first-line antiviral therapy with foscarnet sodium. One patient diagnosed with HHV-6B encephalitis recovered without neurological sequelae.

Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is an antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis characterised by inflammation in small vessels. Avacopan, an oral C5a receptor inhibitor, has demonstrated efficacy in inducing and sustaining remission in MPA, with the added benefit of reducing glucocorticoid exposure and associated toxicities. Among adverse effects, liver injury is the most common, occurring in 16.

Human herpesviruses 6A and 6B (HHV-6A/B) can integrate into the germline, resulting in inherited viral DNA-now proposed to be called "endogenous HHV-6A/B (eHHV-6A/B)." Present in 0.2-3% of humans, this integrated DNA is passed to offspring and may reactivate, posing health risks such as angina or lupus.

Reactivation of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is observed in multiple sclerosis (MS). This study investigates immunoglobulins (Ig)G, IgM, and IgA responses to EBV nuclear antigen EBNA (peptide 386-405), HHV-6 (peptide 300-322) and EBV (peptide 243-268) deoxyuridine-triphosphatase (dUTPase), and different immune profiles in 58 patients with relapsing remitting MS (RRMS) compared to 60 healthy controls. IgA/IgG/IgM were measured utilizing enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, and cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors utilizing multiplex immunoassays.
