Human Herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is a set of two closely related herpes viruses known as HHV-6A and HHV-6B. HHV-6B infects approximately 70% of children by the age of three and often results in fever, diarrhea, sometimes with a rash known as roseola.

There are two HHV-6 variants, HHV-6A and HHV-6B. Based on their distinctive biologic properties and genome sequences, HHV-6A and HHV-6B have been classified as two distinct herpesvirus species . The vast majority of documented primary infections and reactivation events are due to …

Infections with human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), a ß-herpesvirus of which two variant groups (A and B) are recognized, is very common, approaching 100% in seroprevalence. Primary infection with HHV-6B causes roseola infantum or exanthem subitum, a common childhood disease that resolves spontaneously.
