TITLE: The Role of Human Herpesvirus Type-6 (HHV-6) in Convulsions Seen in Children at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, Accra

AUTHORS: Ankrah Lennox-Mac, Adiku Theophilus, Badoe Eben, Kwamena William Coleman Sagoe, Anna Aba Kafintu-Kwashie, Makafui Seshie

KEYWORDS: Convulsions; HHV-6; Large Tegument Protein (LTP) Gene; PCR; Neurological Diseases

JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Medical Microbiology, Vol.4 No.1, March 12, 2014

ABSTRACT: Background: Since the isolation of HHV-6 in 1986, extensive investigation has revealed it to be ubiquitous and responsible for the majority of cases of a common febrile rash illness of infants known as roseola. Other clinical associations including seizure disorders, encephalitis and meningitis have also been stated in various publications. Objective: The aim of the study is to find out if there is any association between HHV-6 infection and the convulsions prevailing at the Child Health Department of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, Accra-Ghana. Methods and Results: Children admitted into the Department of Child Health with episode of convulsions were recruited after informed consent had been sought from subjects. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and Plasma were obtained from patients. PCR directed at the detection of the large tegument protein (LTP) gene in the SIE strain of the HHV-6 in Plasma and CSF from patients was done. The mean age of study subjects was 37.44 months with 53 (64.6%) being males. There was a significant relationship between the convulsions and fever (P
