AbstractHuman herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) has been demonstrated to be a neurotropic virus and has been linked to several neurological complications associated with a wide range of clinical outcomes. Here, we present data from immunocompetent children with a central neurological condition and intrathecal DNA detection of HHV-6 virus. Through these cases, physiopathology, investigations, and outcome of the disease will be described. Finally, specific treatment will be discussed.

Herpesvirus 6

Seroprevalence of antibodies against human herpesvirus 6 was determined in a sample of 303 randomly selected individuals from the Quebec City area. The influence of different variables on antibody litres was also evaluated. Human herpesvirus 6 was grown in the HSB-2 cell line, and antibody litres were measured by indirect immunofluorescence. Serum samples were collected from 177 females and 126 males ranging in age from two months to 88 years. Ninety-nine per cent (300 of 303) of this population had an antibody titre of at least 1:10, whereas 75% had a titre of at least 1:80. Women had a higher geometric mean litre than men (P=0.06). This difference between sexes varied according to age and became statistically significant in subjects older than 20 years of age (P=0.04). It was found that this difference was attributable to higher antibody litres in women in the 15 to 40 year age group who had previously had children.

Physical Findings

B. mucosus capsulatus (Friendländer) meningitis has been a disease entity for approximately 60 years. It occurs chiefly in very young or aged males. The diagnosis in the pediatric age group is especially difficult because of the paucity of symptoms and physical findings referable to the central nervous system or of any primary source of infection. meningitis differs from other types in that the spinal fluid becomes almost gelatinous unless treatment is quickly employed. Less than 50 cases of B. mucosus capsulatus meningitis have been reported, and only five of these have recovered. With the use of streptomycin and sulfadiazine, the mortality rate may be greatly reduced if the cases are diagnosed and treated early in the course of the illness. A case of B. mucosus capsulatus meningitis occurring in a three-week-old male infant who recovered has been presented.

INTRODUCTION: Seasonal variation in disease frequency has been observed for centuries. The direct effects of climate on the skin play a small but significant role in determining the geographical and seasonal variation of many skin disorders also in pediatric age group. In our country Nepal where there is a wide range of climates and where pediatric population of 0 to 14 years constitutes 34.19% of the total population there is a need for studying the seasonal variation of pediatric dermatoses separately. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted in the outpatient department of dermatology of Nepal Medical College and Teaching Hospital for a period of 1 year. The total patients were divided according to 4 seasons spring, summer, autumn and winter and analyzed with Chi square test. RESULTS: Out of total 2032 patients 52% was male and 48% was female. Majority of the visits was in the winter season, followed by summer, spring and autumn. The five most common dermatological problems in the pediatric age group were impetigo, lichen urticatus, scabies, seborrheic eczema and milaria. lichen urticatus, seborrheic eczema and milaria showed statistically very significant seasonal variation but impetigo and scabies did not. The age wise variation of these common dermatoses was also statistically highly significant. CONCLUSION: Many common dermatoses in the pediatric age group show seasonal variation and age wise variation.
