Human herpesvirus 6 viremia and encephalitis in CAR T-cell recipients
Human herpesvirus 6 reactivation in chimeric antigen receptor T-cell recipients is reported to be rare. Our patient cohort (n = 119) experienced a sevenfold higher incidence of viremia than a previous study and 2 cases of encephalitis. Further studies are needed to determine risk factors for infection.
