Abstract
Herpesvirus infections are one of the most common groups of human infectious diseases. Having unique mechanisms of interaction with the human immune system, they can persist in the organism for a long time and can be reactivated by immunosuppressive factors. Human herpesvirus 6A/B (HHV-6A/B) is one of the most common but still insufficiently studied viruses affecting children. There are several variants of HHV-6 infection, including acute primary infection (primarily in young children, manifesting itself with sudden exanthema and febrile convulsive seizures), latent primary infection (manifesting itself with non-immune neutropenia), reactivation of latent infection (in children of pre-school and school age, primarily developing as respiratory infection and infectious mononucleosis), and chromosomally integrated form. This article discusses the issues of epidemiology, clinical mani-festations, diagnosis, and treatment of HHV-6A/B infection in children. Key words: herpesvirus infection, human herpes virus 6, children, diagnosis, treatment
