Ganciclovir
Ganciclovir has also been used with some success in treating "Human herpesvirus 6" infections.
Temporal lobe epilepsy
In the mid 1980s, human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) was suggested as a possible causal link between febrile convulsions and mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. However, although the virus is found in temporal lobe tissue at surgery for TLE, it has not been recognised as a major factor in febrile seizures or TLE.
