In four studies, children admitted to emergency clinics with febrile illnesses were HHV-6-positive in approximately 10% to 15% of cases and in one study in approximately 45% of cases, as determined by viral isolation, seroconversion, or detection of viral DNA sequences in PBMCs.

Thirty-nine serum samples obtained from cord bloods and a few serum samples obtained from pediatric patients with exanthem subitum were also examined to assess the maternal transferred NT antibodies against each virus.

Human Herpesvirus 6: An Emerging Pathogen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07) Evidence that HHV-7 by itself causes an exanthematic disease, although less frequently than HHV-6B, rests on the finding that children with exanthem subitum seroconvert to HHV-7 but remain HHV-6B-negative (45,46). Stages of the natural history of HHV-6 infection: I. Primary infection occurs in infants, may result in exanthem subitum (rash on the child's chest), and spreads to organs. The epidemiologic and clinical investigations summarized here establish a clear correlation between HHV-6B primary infection and exanthem subitum and between HHV-6 infection/reactivation and a number of pathologic conditions in immunocompromised patients and transplant recipients. www.cfsresearch.org /cfs/research/viruses/1.htm   (8192 words)
