| Abstract | Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is a new member of the family Herpesviridae. HHV - 6 has been identified as the etiologic agent of exanthem subitum (roseola infantum) in childen (6 -24 months) with primary infection. Like other herpesviruses, HHV - 6 causes a latent infection after primary infection and can be reactivated by some factors which are the same as those of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). HHV-6 infection is found in association with immunocompromised patients such as organ transplant patients, AIDS patients and some carcinoma patients, and may cause some complications to these patients. The knowledge about the pathogenesis, transmission, therapy of HHV-6 and cells which is latently infected by HHV-6 are still inconclusive and need more investications in the future. |
