Because of the demonstrated presence of Human Herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) in various tissues and organs of HIV-1 infected AIDS patients, and its implication in the pathogenesis of AIDS, we followed two AIDS patients for active HHV-6 infection for two years. Evidence of active HHV-6 infection was demonstrated by immunovirologic assays in both patients; however, the profile of infection in the two patients varied. One patient showed appearance and disappearance of HHV-6, indicating virus reactivation, whereas the other patient showed chronic or persistent HHV-6 infection. Both patients' peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) contained HIV-1 when their CD4 cell count was approximately 200 mm3. No active HHV-6 was demonstrated in a healthy donor, who was used as a control for this study.
