Overview
There is no treatment for roseola, it is a self limiting disease that resolves on its own without any medical intervention but antipyretics can be used as a supportive therapy in cases of high fever.[1]
Medical therapy
The mainstay of therapy for roseola is supportive as HHV 6 typically causes a benign, self limited illness in infants and antiviral therapy is not indicated.
- Supportive therapy for roseola includes antipyretics such as acetaminophen if associated with discomfort.
- Intravenous foscarnet and ganciclovir are proposed as first line treatment for HHV 6 encephalitis for 3 to 4 weeks.
