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 [1]. While the disease has been recognized for almost a century, Human Herpes Virus type 6 (HHV-6) was discovered in 1986 [3].

Pathophysiology

Mode of transmission is still not fully understood however it has been speculated that it is primarily via saliva and commonest form of transmission is from mother to child [4] [5]. Viral replication occur mostly in CD4+ T cells and incubation period is between 9-10 days [4]. High levels of Metalloproteinase 9 and Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase 1 has been shown to disrupt the blood-brain barrier and thus, the cause of the febrille seizures observed in some infants infected with the virus [6]. More severe disease pathology can be seen in the immunocompromised because it remains latent in the lymphocytes and monocytes after primary infection [7] [8].

Causes

Disease is caused by HHV-6 and less commonly by HHV-7 which are members of the Herpesviridae family [4]. HHV-6 has a linear, double-stranded DNA genome [4]. The HHV-6 has its primary variant, HHV-6A which is the associated with Roseola infantum while the other variant, HHV-6A has not been associated with any disease(s) [4].
