4、6 integrated into every cell in their body.2.Quantitative estimates of HHV-6 viral load in whole blood are NOT affected bywhich of the following?a.WBC countb.Viral reactivationc.Hemoglobind.iciHHV-6 statusAnswer:c.iciHHV-6 is associated with high viral copy numbers of HHV-6 in allsamples examined.Be

5、cause viral copy number in these patients is associated withthe presence of host DNA and HHV-6 predominantly occurs in pediatric and stemcell transplant patients,preanalytical variables such as white blood cell(WBC)countcan greatly affect measured HHV-6 viral loads.Viral reactivation can also yield

6、5 to 6logs of difference in HHV-6 viral loads measured in the blood.Hemoglobin does notaffect HHV-6 viral load,provided that the internal control amplifies.3.What is the preferred diagnostic test for confirmation of iciHHV-6 status?a.Plasma quantitative viral PCRb.Sequencing of integration sitesc.Qu

7、alitative plasma PCRd.Droplet digital PCRAnswer:d.When iciHHV-6 is suspected,the most common downstream test per-formed is droplet digital PCR(ddPCR).ddPCR enables highly accurate estimation ofviral and host copy number to determine the exact ratio between virus and host.Since almost all iciHHV-6 in

8、dividuals are heterozygote for HHV-6,they will carry 1copy of HHV-6 for every 2 copies of human housekeeping gene.In general,viralloads in whole blood of?5.5 log10are strongly suggestive of iciHHV-6.Citation Greninger AL,Naccache SN,PannarajP,Jerome KR,Dien Bard J,Ruderman JW.2019.Closing the Brief

11、ian Jiaotong Universityhttp:/jcm.asm.org/Downloaded from TAKE-HOME POINTSHuman herpesvirus 6B(HHV-6B)is the cause of roseola and is the mostcommon cause of febrile seizures in infants.HHV-6 carries telomeric repeats within its genome and can integrate intosubtelomeric regions of human chromosomes,wh
