ABSTRACT
Three children developed severe encephalopathy associated with human herpesvirus 6 infection. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed either basal ganglia involvement or diffusion abnormalities in the cerebral white matter. Coagulopathy with hypercytokinemia was observed in 2 patients. One demonstrated thermolabile variation in carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2. These results suggest a heterogeneous pathogenic mechanism in encephalopathy associated with human herpesvirus 6 infection.
