    Abstract Human herpesvirus (HHV)-6B encephalitis has been increasingly recognized as an important central nervous system (CNS) complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In this review, the best way to diagnose and treat this devastating complication is described. Diagnostic pitfalls: HHV-6B encephalitis should be diagnosed based on the presence of CNS symptoms, positive results for HHV-6 DNA in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and exclusion of other causes of CNS symptoms. There are potential pitfalls when diagnosing HHV-6B encephalitis. Moreover, false-positive detection of HHV-6 DNA in the CSF can occur. Pleocytosis is observed in few patients, and CSF protein levels are often normal. Limbic encephalitis findings are not commonly detected through a brain MRI at the time of development. Prevention: Neither routine monitoring nor routine prophylactic antiviral therapy is recommended to prevent the development of HHV-6B encephalitis. Treatment: Empiric therapy should be started immediately after HHV-6B encephalitis is suspected. The Guideline Committee of the JSHCT recommends full-dose foscarnet (180 mg/kg/day) for the treatment of HHV-6B encephalitis. Therapeutic effect of anti-HHV6 therapy is assessed based on CNS symptoms and HHV-6 DNA in the CSF, which should be evaluated 1-2 weeks after initiating treatment. Even in patients exhibiting good therapeutic effects, antiviral treatment should be continued for at least 3 weeks.

    Abstract We study longitudinal electric and thermoelectric transport coefficients of Dirac fermions on a simple lattice model where tuning of a single parameter enables us to change the type of Dirac cones from type-I to type-II. We pay particular attention to the behavior of the critical situation, i.e., the type-III Dirac cone. We find that the transport coefficients of the type-III Dirac fermions behave as the limiting case of neither the type-I nor type-II. On the one hand, the qualitative behaviors of the type-III case are similar to those of the type-I case. On the other hand, the transport coefficients do not change monotonically upon increasing the tilting; namely, the largest thermoelectric response is obtained not for the type-III case but for the optimally tilted type-I case. For the optimal case, the sizable transport coefficients are obtained; for example, the dimensionless figure of merit is 0.18.

    Abstract The Seebeck coefficient, which is proportional to a ratio of the thermoelectric conductivity to electrical conductivity has been examined for Dirac electrons in the organic conductor $\alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ [BEDT-TTF denotes a molecule given by bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene] under a uniaxial pressure using a two-dimensional tight-binding model with both impurity and electron--phonon (e--p) scatterings. We calculate an anomalous temperature ($T$) dependence of the Seebeck coefficient $S_{\nu}$ with $\nu = x$ (perpendicular to the molecular stacking axis) and $y$, which shows $S_\nu > 0$ with a maximum at high temperatures and $S_{\nu} < 0$ with a minimum at low temperatures.The microscopic mechanism of such a sign change of $S_\nu$ is clarified in terms of the spectral conductivity. The result is compared with experiments on $\alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$.

    Abstract Human herpesvirus (HHV)-6 belongs to the Betaherpesvirinae subfamily of human herpesviruses. Primary HHV-6 infection commonly causes exanthem subitum. Like other herpesviruses, HHV-6 is capable of persisting in the host after the primary infection. Under conditions of immunosuppression, latent HHV-6 can be reactivated. Between 30% and 70% of patients who undergo allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) experience HHV-6 reactivation at 2-4 weeks after transplantation. Accumulating evidence indicates that HHV-6 is an actual cause of encephalitis after allo-HCT. Risk factors for HHV-6 encephalitis include cord blood transplantation and an inflammatory milieu, which occurs in the early period after allo-HCT. Although HHV-6 encephalitis is associated with a poor prognosis, no validated treatments or preventative measures have as yet been established. HHV-6 reactivation may also cause myelitis, bone marrow suppression, lung disease, hepatitis, delirium, and graft-versus-host disease. However, such associations have not been consistently demonstrated and causality remains uncertain. This review updates the latest information regarding the clinical syndrome accompanying HHV-6 reactivation, with a particular focus on HHV-6 encephalitis, in the form of a series of questions and answers.

    Abstract Reactivation of human herpesvirus (HHV)-6B is a relatively common occurrence after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT), and it is associated with the development of various post-transplant complications. HHV-6 encephalitis appears to be a significant, life-threatening complication caused by HHV-6B reactivation. HHV-6 encephalitis typically develops 2-6 weeks after SCT, and the symptoms are characterized by memory loss, seizures, and consciousness loss. Magnetic resonance imaging typically shows limbic encephalitis. Recent large-scale studies and a prospective study showed a similar incidence of HHV-6 encephalitis development, with 7.9-9.9% in cord blood transplant recipients and 0.5-1.2% in bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplant recipients. Epidemiological studies suggest that post-transplant immune reactions such as GVHD, pre-engraftment immune reaction, or engraftment syndrome play important roles in the development of HHV-6 encephalitis. The mortality rate remains high, and even among survivors, many patients are left with serious neurological impairments, such as memory disturbance and seizures. Elucidation of the pathophysiology and establishment of appropriate prophylactic measures are necessary to overcome this serious complication. Besides encephalitis, associations between HHV-6 and various post-transplant complications have been reported, including pneumonitis, gastroenterocolitis, hepatitis, bone marrow suppression, and GVHD. Further investigations are needed to determine the role of HHV-6 in these complications.

    Abstract The reactivation of human herpesvirus-6B (HHV-6B) is common after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT), and it is sporadically associated with the development of HHV-6 encephalitis. HHV-6 encephalitis typically develops around 2-6 weeks after allo-HCT, and it is characterized by short-term memory loss. Magnetic resonance imaging typically shows bilateral signal abnormalities in the limbic system. The incidence of HHV-6 encephalitis is reportedly 0-11.6% after bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation and 4.9-21.4% after cord blood transplantation. The mortality of HHV-6 encephalitis is high, and survivors are often left with serious sequelae. Antiviral therapy using foscarnet or ganciclovir is recommended for the treatment of HHV-6 encephalitis, but the efficacy of the currently available treatment is insufficient once HHV-6 encephalitis has developed. The elucidation of the pathogenesis of HHV-6 encephalitis and the establishment of preventative therapy are needed to overcome this disease.
