Overview
Pathophysiology
Pathogenesis
- The human herpes virus infects the T cells, monocytes-macrophages, epithelial cells, and central nervous system cells resulting in a chronic infection.
- The pathogenicity of HHV-7 is not well understood.
Genetics
- Chromosomal integration of HHV-6A and HHV-6B is responsible for transmission of infection from the parents to the newboen and is observed in 1% of the population.
