Neuroinvasion by Human Herpesvirus Type 7 in a Case of Examthem Subitum with Severe Neurologic Manifestations
Neurol 52:1077-1079, van den Berg,J.S.P.,et al, 1999
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
A 10-month girl presented with severe neurologic symptoms associated with exanthem subitum. Human herpesvirus type 7 (HHV-7) DNA was detected in the CSF and serum, and supported by serologic studies. The patient was diagnosed with encephalopathy due to an acute HHV-7 infection. Neuron- specific enolase in the CSF was strongly elevated during the acute stage of infection, suggesting that the encephalopathy was due to viral invasion of the brain.
