Summary
High school and college athletes suffering a sports-related concussion accompanied by posttraumatic migraine (PTM) should be followed for symptoms of head injury and neurocognitive impairments. In a three year prospective study in Britain and Ireland, blood samples of 205 children (2-35 months of age) hospitalized with fever and convulsions and/or suspected encephalitis were tested for primary HHV-6 and -7 infections and reported from Royal Free and University College Medical School, London, UK. Of 156 children aged 2-23 months with primary infection coinciding with the acute illness, 26 (17%) tested positive for HHV (11 children with HHV-6; 13 HHV-7; and 2 with both viruses).
