Overview
For the first time, Zahorsky of St. Louis in 1910 described a febrile exanthem occurring in infants which he termed roseola. Human herpes virus 6 was first identified in 1986.
Historical Perspective
- For the first time, Zahorsky of St. Louis in 1910 described a febrile exanthem occurring in infants which he termed roseola.
- In 1986, Human herpes virus 6 (HHV6), the main causative agent of roseola disease was first isolated from patients who were diagnosed with HIV AIDS or a lymphoproliferative disorder from the peripheral blood leukocytes. [1]
- The two different variants of HHV 6 discovered by Frenkel, Ablashi and Aubin are variant A and Variant B HHV 6 strains.[2][3][4]
- HHV 6A has been found to be more associated with the development of roseola.
