Most cases of acute infections caused by human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) are asymptomatic or very mild. Clinical symptoms disappear spontaneously; however, the infection becomes latent and persists for life with periodic asymptomatic reactivation. Little is known about the virus's ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. Our case of an immunocompetent infant indicates that HHV-7 infection should be considered a cause of neuroinfection, not only in immunocompromised patients but also in the youngest immunocompetent patients.
大多数由人类疱疹病毒7型（HHV - 7）引起的急性感染病例是无症状的或非常轻微的。临床症状会自发消失；然而，感染会转为潜伏状态并终身持续，伴有周期性的无症状再激活。关于该病毒穿越血脑屏障的能力知之甚少。我们这位免疫功能正常的婴儿病例表明，HHV - 7感染不仅在免疫功能低下的患者中，而且在最年幼的免疫功能正常的患者中，都应被视为神经感染的一个病因。
