The Viral Hypothesis of Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy - Is Human Herpes Virus-6 the Missing Link? A systematic review and meta-analysis

The results of this meta-analysis indicate an association between HHV-6 DNA and MTLE surgically resected tissue samples, unspecified if A or B or both. However, the casual relationship and possible pathological role of HHV-6 in MTLE are yet to be elucidated. This study's results provide a basis for future studies continuing the investigation into pathological implications of HHV-6.
