Human herpesvirus 6B (HHV-6B) detection and genome-wide host expression profiles implicate HHV-6B as a pulmonary pathogen after hematopoietic cell transplantation


ABSTRACT: Limited understanding of the immunopathogenesis of human herpesvirus 6B (HHV-6B) has prevented its acceptance as a pulmonary pathogen after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). We conducted a prospective multicenter study of patients undergoing bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) for pneumonia after allogeneic HCT. We tested blood and BAL fluid (BALF) for HHV-6B DNA and mRNA transcripts associated with lytic infection and performed RNA-seq on paired blood. Among 116 participants, HHV-6B DNA was detected in 37% of BALs, 49% of which had HHV-6B mRNA detection. We established an HHV-6B DNA threshold (≥2.3 log10copies/ml in BALF) that was highly predictive of HHV-6B mRNA detection and increased risk for death from respiratory failure (adjusted HR, 2.35; 95% CI, 1.08-5.11). Participants with HHV-6B DNA in BALF exhibited distinct host gene expression signatures, notable for enriched interferon signaling pathways in participants clinically diagnosed with idiopathic pneumonia. These data implicate HHV-6B as a pulmonary pathogen after allogeneic HCT.
