Post-Transplant Acute Limbic Encephalitis: Clinical Features and Relationship to HHV6
Neurol 69:156-165, Seeley,W.W.,et al, 2007
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are at risk for post-transplant acute limbic encephalitis (PALE), a distinct neurologic syndrome. Treatment considerations should include aggressive seizure control and, possibly, antiviral therapy. PALE can be associated with the CSF presence of human herpesvirus-6, but the pathogenic role of the virus requires further exploration.
