Overview
Roseola is caused by Human herpes virus 6, a member of the Herpesvirales order, Herpesviridae family, Betaherpesvirinae subfamily, and Roseolovirus genus.
Causes
- Roseola may be caused by Human herpes virus 6A, 6B and 7 (HHV6A, HHV6B and HHV 7). Other causes include enteroviruses (Coxakie A and B, echoviruses), adenoviruses and parainfluenza viruses.[1]
- Roseola belongs to the Roseolovirus genus of the betaherpesviridnae subfamily.
- HHV-6B causes exanthema subitum.[2]
- HHV-6A and HHV-6B cause encephalitis, hepatitis, bone marrow suppression, colitis, and pneumonitis in patients with immunocompromised state.
