摘要

HHV-6 and HHV-7, also known as roseola viruses, are Human Herpesviruses that can cause infections in early childhood, leading to short febrile illnesses. HHV-7 is among the least studied members among human betaherpesviruses. We report an outbreak caused by HHV-7 among hostel inmates in the western part of Odisha. HHV-7 was detected in 35.3% of throat swab samples.The mean age was 23.2 years with equal sex distribution.Throat pain was the commonest symptom in 81.8% of cases followed by fever and rash in 41% of cases and itching in 27.3%.HHV-7 has been associated with a variety of clinical syndromes suggesting it has a broader impact on human health than previously thought. Hence sensitization among health care professionals is important for clinical differentiation and early reporting of febrile illness with rash and for timely containment of the disease.
