Abstract

|
|
Incidence of human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) infection in the neonatal period has been reported in few cases. HHV-6, commonly responsible for roseola, is known to establish infection during infancy and early childhood. A 14-day-old neonate, presented with a fever of 38.3℃, primarily due to an HHV-6 infection, was admitted to our neonatal intensive care unit. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of his cerebrospinal fluid was positive for HHV-6. Additionally, serology for HHV-6 PCR was positive. We believe that HHV-6 can cause infection in febrile newborn infants.
