Roseola affects girls and boys equally worldwide year-round. [5] Roseola typically affects children between six months and two years of age, with peak prevalence in children between 7 and 13 months old. [5] [6] This correlates with the decrease in maternal antibodies, thus virus protection, that occurs at the age of 6 months. [6]
A systematic review of trials into its use found no reduction in overall mortality, but two doses (200,000 IU) of vitamin A was shown to reduce mortality for measles in children younger than two years of age. [79] [85] It is unclear if zinc supplementation in children with measles affects outcomes as it has not been sufficiently studied. [86]

More research is needed to determine whether the virus poses any threat to humans, Parry said. Queensland researchers plan to work on developing vaccines for this family of viruses, according to ...
However, one study (1997) indicated that a rash is not a distinguishing feature of HHV-6 infection, with rates similar to non-HHV-6 infections (10–20% of febrile children in both groups). HHV-6 infections more frequently present with high temperatures (over 40C), at a rate of around two thirds compared to less than half in the non-HHV-6 patients.
