✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A case of neonatal human herpesvirus 6 (HHV‐6) B infection is presented. Although HHV‐6 B was isolated from peripheral blood at the onset of the illness, a significant increase in viral antibody titers was not observed. The patient had a slight fever with generalized maculopapular skin rash and an increased number of atypical lymphocytes, which is quite different from the typical clinical features of exanthem subitum.

A retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell line (K-1034) was examined for its susceptibility to human herpesvirus 6 variant A (HHV-6A). Exposure of K-1034 cells to HHV-6A induced the formation of multinucleated giant cells, which was suppressed by an inhibitor of viral DNA synthesis. In the giant cells
