Comparison of Patients at Risk of HHV-6 Infection After Transplantation

Category HHV-6 Infection
Yes (n = 17) No (n = 13)
HHV-6 DNA in PBMC* 
 Positive  16   3 
 Negative   1 10 
HHV-6 antibody titers in donor (GMT ± SD) 1.3 ± 0.4  1.4 ± 0.3  
HHV-6 antibody titers in recipient (GMT ± SD)  1.5 ± 0.3  1.5 ± 0.3 
Category HHV-6 Infection
Yes (n = 17) No (n = 13)
HHV-6 DNA in PBMC* 
 Positive  16   3 
 Negative   1 10 
HHV-6 antibody titers in donor (GMT ± SD) 1.3 ± 0.4  1.4 ± 0.3  
HHV-6 antibody titers in recipient (GMT ± SD)  1.5 ± 0.3  1.5 ± 0.3 

Abbreviation: GMT, geometric mean titer (log10).

*

If HHV-6 DNA is detected in donor's or recipient's PBMC, we defined it as positive.

P < .001 by Fisher's exact test.
