TI  - Association of human herpesvirus 6 infection with exanthem subitum in Belem, 
      Brazil.
PG  - 489-92
AB  - Recent human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) infection was detected in cases of exanthem 
      subitum (ES) involving four children, aged 10 to 24 months, between April and 
      August 1994, in Belem, Brazil. By using the indirect immunofluorescence antibody 
      assay (IFA), significant increases (at least eight times) in antibody 
      concentrations were noted from the acute to the convalescent serum samples, with 
      titers ranging from < 1:10/1:80 to < 1:10/1:640 (patients 3 and 2, respectively). 
      All children had high fever (over 39 degrees C) for three days, followed by 
      generalized, maculo-papular skin rash. A physical examination of the children 
      also revealed concomitant, cervical lymph node swelling and tonsillar pharyngitis 
      in two of them.
