  • Title: Reactivation in children of juvenile chronic arthritis and chronic iridocyclitis associated with human herpesvirus-6 infection.
    Author: Wiersbitzky S, Ratzmann GW, Bruns R, Wiersbitzky H.
    Journal: Padiatr Grenzgeb; 1993; 31(4):203-5. PubMed ID: 8259313.
    Abstract:
    The human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) causes exanthem subitum. Moreover it can provoke a large scale of different other clinical symptoms. The life-long persistence of human herpes viruses is well known (HSV 1 and 2, VZV, CMV, EBV). For the HHV-6 we have described here for the first time the onset/reactivation of juvenile chronic arthritis (jcA) and chronic iridocyclitis as chronically active and persistent infection in two children of school age.
