Overview

The common risk factors in the development of roseola includes infancy (younger 2 years), immunosuppression, and organ transplantation.

Risk factors

Risk factors predisposing to roseola infection include:

• Infancy: primary infection usually occurs in children less than 2 years of age
• Immunosuppression in adults with solid organ transplants and patients with HIV infection are at a higher risk of developing complications such as encephalitis.
