Frequent HHV-6 reactivation was detected after HSCT, especially in allo-HSCT recipients with clinical manifestations which could not be otherwise explained. To our best knowledge this is the first study of HHV6 reactivation in HSCT recipients from Egypt. Raising awareness for HHV-6 reactivation manifestations and screening in HSCT recipients could be lifesaving.
