ABSTRACT
The herpesviruses are the most common infectious agents associated with both primary and secondary cytokine storm syndromes (CSS). While Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is most frequently reported in association with CSS, cytomegalovirus (CMV) and many other herpesviruses (e.g., herpes simplex virus, varicella zoster virus, and human herpesviruses 6 and 8) are clearly associated with CSS in children and adults. Immunocompromised hosts, whether due to primary immunodeficiency or secondary immune compromise (e.g., solid organ or stem cell transplantation), appear to be at particularly increased risk of herpesvirus-associated CSS. In this chapter, the association of the non-EBV herpesviruses with CSS will be discussed, including predisposing factors and treatment considerations.
