الوصف: Methods: A computer-based search of the English literature for articles relative to Human Herpesviruses (HHVs) infection and pleural effusions (PEs) in the immunocompetent host was performed in PubMed and Scopus. The reference lists of the retrieved articles were also reviewed for relevant articles. Results: A total of 20 articles satisfied the selection criteria and were included in the study. In the majority of the articles, PEs were reported as clinical complications of systemic HHV-induced infection. The frequency of HHVs within the reported cases was five for HHV-1/2, one for HHV-3, six for HHV-4, six for HHV-5 and one for HHV-6. One case involved HHV-4 and HHV-5 co-infection. No case of HHV-7 or HHV-8 related PE in the immunocompetent host was retrieved. Conclusions: Pleural effusions in the immunocompetent host occur in severe viral infections and can be due to comorbidities (or septic complications) or due to the direct HHV pathogenicity although research relative to the susceptibility of pleural mesothelial cells to HHV infection is lacking. HHV pathogenicity needs to be studied further as it could explain undiagnosed PEs. © 2019, © 2019 Society for Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases.
