TI  - Evidence of human herpesvirus 6 infection in 4 immunocompetent patients with 
      encephalitis.
PG  - 890-3
AB  - We describe 4 patients with encephalitis due to possible reactivation of human 
      herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) infection who were enrolled in the California Encephalitis 
      Project. All were immunocompetent and had HHV-6 loads determined in cerebrospinal 
      fluid specimens. Tests for detection of HHV-6 should be considered for 
      individuals with encephalitis.
