Abstract
We report a 7-month-old boy who developed vesicular lesions during the course of exanthem subitum. Human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) DNA was detected both in the skin lesions and in the throat, by polymerase chain reaction. IgG and IgM antibodies against HHV-6 were 1:10 and < 1:10, respectively on the tenth day of the illness, and > 1:640 and 1:10 on the twenty-second day, respectively. These results suggest that this was primary HHV-6 infection.
