Human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6), a mature T-cell lymphotropic virus, is a newly recognized member of the herpes virus family and shares limited homology with human cytomegalovirus. HHV-6 has been identified as the etiologic agent of the childhood illness exanthem subitum (roseola infantum). Widespread acquisition of this virus has been demonstrated to occur early in childhood, with fever as the most consistent manifestation of primary infection. Reactivation of latent infection has been postulated and may be associated with lymphoproliferative disorders or other diseases of immune function.
人疱疹病毒6型（HHV - 6）是一种成熟的嗜T细胞病毒，是疱疹病毒家族新发现的成员，与人类巨细胞病毒具有有限的同源性。HHV - 6已被确定为儿童疾病幼儿急疹（婴儿玫瑰疹）的病原体。已证明这种病毒在儿童早期广泛感染，发热是原发性感染最常见的表现。据推测，潜伏感染的激活可能与淋巴增殖性疾病或其他免疫功能疾病有关。
