Abstract
The human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) causes exanthem subitum. Moreover it can provoke a large scale of different other clinical symptoms. The life-long persistence of human herpes viruses is well known (HSV 1 and 2, VZV, CMV, EBV). For the HHV-6 we have described here for the first time the onset/reactivation of juvenile chronic arthritis (jcA) and chronic iridocyclitis as chronically active and persistent infection in two children of school age.
