BACKGROUND: The most common causative pathogen of acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion (AESD) was reported as HHV-6. Although excitotoxic injury with delayed neuronal death is considered to be a possible pathogenesis of AESD, the detailed pathophysiology remains unclear.
CASE PRESENTATION: We present a twelve-month-old girl with AESD due to HHV-6 primary infection. She was successfully treated for AESD including targeted temperature management and the administration of vitamin B1, B6, and L-carnitine. Although the viral load of HHV-6 in her liquor was high (12,000 copies/mL), she fully recovered without antiviral agent use.
DISCUSSION: There has been no study focusing on the HHV-6 viral load in patients with AESD, and only a few case reports have been published. We reviewed the clinical features and viral load in the liquor of our case and four reported infants with AESD due to HHV-6 primary infection who had real-time PCR tests results. Viral loads in the three patients with a poor prognosis were 31.5, negative, and 3,390 copies/mL, respectively. On the other hand, the copy numbers of HHV-6 DNA in the two patients with no sequelae were 12,000 and 106 copies/mL, respectively, and our case had the highest viral load among the five summarized patients.
