BackgroundHuman leukocyte antigen (HLA) mismatch and the administration of immunosuppressive agents are considered risks for human herpesvirus 6 (HHV‐6) reactivation after stem cell transplantation (SCT). However, the incidence of HHV‐6 reactivation in HLA‐mismatched related SCT remains unknown.MethodsWe monitored plasma HHV‐6 DNA loads weekly using real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction for 5 weeks after SCT and compared serum IL‐6 levels in HLA‐mismatched SCT groups.ResultsCompared with detection in all 11 umbilical cord blood transplantation (CBT) patients (100%), plasma HHV‐6 DNA was detected in only 3 of 42 haplo‐SCT patients (7.1%) despite the use of methylprednisolone and antithymocyte globulin as graft‐vs‐host disease prophylaxis and a reduced‐intensity conditioning regimen, respectively. Correspondingly, serum IL‐6 levels in haplo‐SCT patients were significantly lower than those in CBT patients. No HHV‐6‐associated encephalitis developed in either groups.ConclusionsNeither HLA disparity nor the use of methylprednisolone and antithymocyte globulin were risk factors for HHV‐6 reactivation in our haplo‐SCT patients. Rather than increasing risk, the administration of immunosuppressive agents potentially prevented HHV‐6 reactivation after haplo‐SCT by suppressing IL‐6 production.
