    Notes: Abstract Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV6) has been reported as a rare cause of meningoencephalitis and leukoencephalitis. We present an HIV-infected patient with ¶lesions of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), but also meningoencephalitis apparently due to HHV6. Immunohistochemistry for HHV6 antigens and in situ polymerase chain reaction for HHV6 genome showed many positive lymphocytes and microglia in the meningeal and cortical lesions. More importantly, dead and dying neurons were conspicuous; some were undergoing neuronophagia and some displayed evidence of HHV6 infection. A pathogenic role for this almost universal, and usually commensal, virus in inflammatory brain lesions and PML is briefly discussed.

    Notes: Summary The binding of influenza virus to the surface of cells and the internalization of virus particles by all or a subset of cells are key points in the pathogenesis of viral infection. The current studies established a method for discrimination of surface-bound from internalized influenza virus. Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) was attached to the viral hemagglutinin and neuraminidase proteins; the fluorescent virus retained infectivity. A flow cytometric technique was then adapted for study of virus-cell interactions, with addition of ethidium bromide to quench green fluorescence associated with FITC-labeled virus that was cell-bound but remained external. Ethidium bromide was excluded by intact cell membranes, and internalized virions retained green fluorescence. Cells could be examined by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry, with flow cytometry allowing rapid, kinetic assessment of large numbers of cells and subsets of virus-exposed cells. The data showed that, whereas a majority of both monocytes-macrophages and lymphocytes bound influenza virus, a large percentage of monocytes-macrophages but only a very small percentage of lymphocytes internalized the virus. This procedure provides a simple and effective method to distinguish surface-bound from internalized influenza virus, and allows precise kinetic analyses on large numbers of cells.
