Figure 1 Kaplan-Meier curves for overall survival after HSCT in patients with or without HHV-6 encephalitis. — HHV-6 encephalitis (+) (n = 8); ------ HHV-6 encephalitis (−) (n = 189). There was no statistical significance of survival between the patients with HHV-6 encephalitis and those without it (P = .617).
