AB  - Human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) is a recently described T-lymphotropic herpesvirus, 
      which infects almost all children by the age of three years and persists 
      lifelong, with the shedding of infectious virus in saliva. HHV-7 is similar to 
      human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) in its genetic content and in many of its biological 
      properties, which include the ability to cause at least some cases of exanthem 
      subitum (roseola). Despite these similarities, important differences between 
      HHV-7 and HHV-6 exist, including the fact that HHV-7 binds to the cellular CD4 
      molecule and uses this protein as a necessary component of its receptor, while 
      HHV-6 binds to a different (and unknown) receptor. Furthermore, the pathogenesis 
      and sequelae of HHV-7 infection remain very poorly understood. This review 
      provides a critical summary of research on HHV-7.
