Meningitis caused by human herpesvirus-6

L M Huang et al. Arch Dis Child. 1991 Dec.

Abstract

Since the discovery of human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) the illnesses associated with it have increased steadily. Two infants with meningitis are reported: both suffered a mild meningitis and serological studies confirmed an acute HHV-6 infection. This report supports a role of HHV-6 in nervous system disease.
