Human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) is one of nine known members of the Herpesviridae family that infects humans. HHV-7 is a member of Betaherpesvirinae, a subfamily of the Herpesviridae that also includes HHV-6 and Cytomegalovirus (HHV-5 or HCMV).

Three recently discovered members of the human herpesvirus (HHV) family are HHV-6, HHV-7, and HHV-8. The closely homologous HHV-6 and HHV-7 are ubiquitous, with nearly universal prevalence in persons older than 6 years.

2024年5月8日 · Human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) is a common virus that is associated with various human diseases including febrile syndromes, dermatological lesions, neurological defects, and transplant complications. Still, HHV-7 remains one of the least studied members of all human betaherpesviruses.

2023年10月30日 · Human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) was first isolated in 1990 from the CD4 T cells of a healthy individual whose activated cells in culture showed cytopathic effects . Although its structure has been well characterized, its role in human disease has yet to be defined.

2024年12月7日 · Herpes virus 6 (HHV-6) and herpes virus 7 (HHV-7) are two of the most common viruses that infect humans. Both share many similarities with other herpes viruses, such as the sensation of tingling or numbness in the affected area, followed by the appearance of a blister-like rash.

Human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) was discovered in 1989 as a new member of the beta-herpesvirus subfamily. Primary infection occurs early in life and manifests as exanthema subitum, or other febrile illnesses mimicking measles and rubella.

The discoveries of Human herpesvirus 6 variant A (HHV-6A), Human herpesvirus 6 variant B (HHV-6B) and Human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) followed the development of methods for activation and long-term culture of peripheral blood T lymphocytes.

Human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7), like HHV-6, appears to be principally acquired in infancy and childhood and able to cause roseola. HHV-7 has been associated with febrile convulsions and has been implicated as a cause of encephalitis.

Human Herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) is a type of virus that typically causes a mild and self-limited infection in children, with rare complications that may involve the central nervous system. It has been associated with skin conditions like pityriasis rosea and can be transmitted through saliva.

In this chapter we will summarize the current understanding of the epidemiology and persistence of HHV-6 and HHV-7 in the human host and its relevance to transmission. In addition, we will highlight a novel form of persistence for HHV-6 which …
