## Abstract Infections with the Ξ²βherpesviruses human herpesvirusβ6 (HHVβ6) and human herpesvirusβ7 (HHVβ7) are ubiquitous in childhood. The immunosuppression secondary to organ or bone marrow transplantation together with posttransplantation management may favour viral replication and reactivation
We have attempted to reactivate human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) by infection with HHV-7 using childhood exanthem subitum patients in vitro. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were collected from children who had a history of exanthem subitum(ES) by HHV-6 and were infected by human herpesvirus 7
## Background: Pityriasis rosea (pr) is a common papulosquamous skin disorder that is suspected to have an infectious aetiology. ## Objectives: We aimed to study the role of human herpesvirus (hhv)-7 and hhv-6 in the pathogenesis of pr. ## Methods: We performed seroepidemiological studies (indi
