pubmed:abstractText
Two infants (4 and 5 months of age) with a febrile episode for 3 and 5 days, respectively, developed skin rashes after the fever subsided and were diagnosed as exanthem subitum. The rash continued for 5 days followed by mild-to-moderate pigmentation. Human herpesvirus-6 and measles virus, which were confirmed by a specific immunofluorescence assay and by electron microscopy, were isolated simultaneously from blood in the acute stage of the disease but not from the convalescent stage. The titer of the herpesvirus-6 in blood was greater than that of measles. Specific serologic assays showed marked seroconversion against human herpesvirus-6 but not to measles virus. The results suggest that dual infection with human herpesvirus-6 and measles virus results in atypical exanthem subitum or modified measles with unique immunologic responses.
