人类疱疹病毒6很少被确定为免疫功能正常的成人脑炎的原因。我们描述了一个病人谁有严重的脑脊髓炎，hypoglycorrhachia，和人类疱疹病毒6确定在他的脑脊液和血清，谁与膦甲酸和更昔洛韦治疗后恢复。免疫功能正常的脑炎患者应考虑人类疱疹病毒6型。
Human herpesvirus 6 has rarely been identified as a cause of encephalitis in immunocompetent adults. We describe a patient who had severe encephalomyelitis, hypoglycorrhachia, and human herpesvirus 6 identified in his cerebrospinal fluid and serum and who recovered after treatment with foscarnet and ganciclovir. Human herpesvirus 6 should be considered in immunocompetent patients with encephalitis.
