TI  - Case report: primary infection by human herpesvirus 6 variant a with the onset of 
      myelitis.
PG  - 72-4
AB  - A case of primary infection by human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) variant A in a 
      54-year-old woman, which occurred at the same time as the onset of 
      encephalomyelitis, is reported. The correlation between the two events is 
      discussed. It is speculated that, during the early phase of the infection, the 
      HHV-6 spread to the central nervous system and triggered a pathogenic process 
      that initially developed without symptoms. When the neurological disorders 
      appeared, HHV-6 had already established a latent state: only the virus carried by 
      infected blood cells was detected in the cerebrospinal fluid.
