Abstract
HHV-6B primary infection occurs in nearly all children by three years of age.HHV-6 can integrate into the host genome and be passed via germline transmission.Only a quarter of HHV-6B primary infections manifest as roseola infantum in the US.HHV-6B or HHV-7 account for 1/3 of febrile status epilepticus cases in children.Delayed HHV-7 primary infection may be associated with more severe neurologic complications.
