TI  - Case report: primary human herpesvirus-6 associated with an afebrile seizure in a 
      3-week-old infant.
PG  - 384-7
AB  - We describe a 3-week-old male infant with an afebrile seizure in whom serologic 
      and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) findings support concomitant primary human 
      herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) infection. Although HHV-6 infection has been associated 
      with first-time febrile seizures and encephalitis in both immunocompetent and 
      immunocompromised hosts, it has not been associated previously with afebrile 
      seizures in healthy infants. This report provides additional evidence of the 
      neuropathogenic potential of HHV-6.
