Human herpesvirus infection in children with fever and maculopapular rash.
Asian Pacific Journal of Allergy and Immunology 2003 December
Fever with maculopapular rash is a common problem in children. Infection with human herpesviruses is one of the common etiologies in fever with rash. The aim of this study has been to examine patients presenting with fever and maculopapular rash without respiratory symptoms for human herpesviruses infection by using multiplex nested-polymerase chain reaction. A descriptive and prospective study was conducted at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand from June 2000 to December 2001. One hundred patients, 43 boys and 57 girls, aged between 2 months and 14 years were recruited. Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV6) was the most common (24%) whereas HHV7, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) were present in 9%, 3% and 2% of the patients, respectively. Four percent of the patients simultaneously harbored HHV6 and HHV7. Only one patient had CMV, HHV6 and HHV7. Patients with HHV7 had a mean age of 4.5 years, whereas those with HHV6 had a mean age of 1.6 years. HHV6 and HHV7 were commonly found as causes of fever and maculopapular rash without respiratory symptoms. Co-infection with different herpesviruses can be found in the same patient.
