Roseola Infantum

Overview

Historical Perspective

Previously known as "Roseola infantilis", the oldest known description of the disease dates as far back as 100 years ago by John Zahorsky, M.D in his publication in 1913 [1] [2]. Described as a symptom-complex of febrille erythema occuring in infants and not to be categorized alongside the erythema group of skin diseases. However, no clear-cut description was given to differentiate it from other pediatric skin eruptions. The name was subsequently dropped [1] .

Pathophysiology

Disease is caused by the Human Herpes Virus type 6 (HHV-6), children are the most commonly infected and more severe disease pathology can be seen in the immunocompromised because it remains latent in the body after primary infection [3] [4].
