The review focuses on the problem of chromosomally integrated human herpesvirus 6 (CIHHV-6). The main features of CIHHV-6 are wide prevalence (near 1% of population), ability to inheritance, which leads to problems of diagnostics of acute HHV-6 infection. Also there is the opportunity of activation CIHHV-6, linked to immunodeficiency and conditions after transplantation. Potentially CIHHV-6 can be associated with the abnormalities of nervous system development, autoimmune disorders and conditions, related to damage of telomere.
