Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), the causative agent of exanthema subitum in childhood, can also induce meningoencephalitis in immunocompromised individuals. In contrast, HHV-6 encephalitis in immunocompetent patients is rare, and the clinical syndrome not well defined. We report a case of meningoencephalitis caused by HHV-6 type B in an otherwise healthy woman.
人类疱疹病毒6型（HHV - 6）是儿童急疹的病原体，也可在免疫功能低下的个体中诱发脑膜脑炎。相比之下，免疫功能正常的患者发生HHV - 6脑炎较为罕见，其临床综合征也尚未明确界定。我们报告一例由B型HHV - 6引起的脑膜脑炎病例，患者为一名原本健康的女性。
