During local small measles outbreak in Japan, 3 adolescents with febrile skin rash suspected as having measles were diagnosed with primary human herpesvirus (HHV)-7 infection. Primary HHV-7 infection can cause exanthem subitum in not only young children but also adolescents. HHV-7 should be considered as a possible causative agent for adolescent febrile skin rash during the measles outbreak.
在日本当地小规模麻疹疫情期间,3名疑似患有麻疹的发热皮疹青少年被诊断为原发性人疱疹病毒(HHV)-7感染。原发性HHV-7感染不仅可导致幼儿发生幼儿急疹,也可导致青少年发病。在麻疹疫情期间,HHV-7应被视为青少年发热皮疹的一种可能病原体。
