Abstract

Human herpes virus 6 causes exanthem subitum (ES), which is a benign disease presenting with fever in the first 2 years of life. ES is characterized by the abrupt onset of high fever and a rash that occurs immediately after the fever is resolved. The most common complications are central nervous system complications, such as febrile seizures and encephalitis. In this article, we report a case of encephalitis after ES in a patient who was admitted to our pediatric emergency clinic with the complaints of eruption, poor feeding, and drowsiness.

Özet

Human herpes virüs tip 6 (HHV-6) çocuklarda özellikle yaşamın ilk iki yılında görülen benign, ateşli bir hastalık olan exanthem subituma (ES) neden olur. ES ani başlayan yüksek ateş ve ateşin düşmesiyle birlikte döküntünün ortaya çıkmasıyla karakterize bir hastalıktır. ES hastalarında en sık görülen komplikasyonlar febril nöbet ve ensefalit gibi merkezi sinir sistemi (MSS) komplikasyonlarıdır. Bu yazıda çocuk acil kliniğimize döküntü, emmede azalma ve uykuya meyil şikayetleri ile gelen ve ES sonrası ensefalit tanısı konulan bir olgu sunulmuştur.
