Abstract
We report a 10‐month‐old boy with acute meningo‐encephalitis associated with exanthem subitum. It has recently been reported that human herpesvirus‐6 is the causative agent of exanthem subitum, and to our knowledge our case is the first report of meningo‐encephalitis associated with HHV‐6 infection.Keywords
