  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4267952/

  The most common finding in children with HHV-6 primary infection is fever. Compared to other febrile illnesses in children under two years of age evaluated in an emergency department setting, HHV-6 infection has been shown to cause a significantly higher mean temperature (39.6C compared to 38.9C), with the great majority of children exhibiting temperatures greater than 39C. In the study in Rochester NY, fevers remained high for the first three days with 15% of children remaining febrile for six or more days. Children with primary HHV-6 infection also presented earlier into the illness for medical care than children with other febrile illnesses (2.1 vs. 2.9 days). […] While studies from Japan have strongly linked HHV-6 to the clinical syndrome of roseola, this may be a reflection of study design and subject inclusion criteria. Prospective studies in the US have revealed that the classic syndrome of roseola accompanies only a minority of primary HHV-6B infections. The hallmark rash of roseola was observed in only 6% of the children at initial presentation when febrile and in another 17% at the time of defervescence in the study by Hall and colleagues. Similarly, rash was only present in approximately 20% of children during primary HHV-6 infection in the community based study in Seattle, WA. This highlights that roseola infantum is identified in less than a quarter of children with primary HHV-6 infection in the United States.

  Fever, fussiness and rhinorrhea are present in over half of children with primary HHV-6B infection while diarrhea, rash and roseola are all significantly more common during primary HHV-6B infection than other periods of illness. Additionally, febrile children with HHV-6B infection are less likely to present with cough or other symptoms of lower respiratory tract infection. […] Neurologic complications, manifested as seizures or encephalopathy, have long been associated with roseola. However, the true prevalence of seizures complicating HHV-6 primary infection has been difficult to determine due to the wide variation in study designs and populations. A literature review encompassing studies from 1994 to 2004 found that 17% of children seeking medical attention with primary HHV-6 infection had seizures as a complication. Children from 12-15 months of age may be at particular risk with a documented rate of febrile seizures of 36% among children presenting to the ED with acute HHV-6B infection. Overall, primary HHV-6B infection accounts for approximately 25 to 33% of the febrile seizures observed in children less than 24 months of age in the emergency department setting.

  Fever, fussiness and rhinorrhea are present in over half of children with primary HHV-6B infection while diarrhea, rash and roseola are all significantly more common during primary HHV-6B infection than other periods of illness. Additionally, febrile children with HHV-6B infection are less likely to present with cough or other symptoms of lower respiratory tract infection. […] Neurologic complications, manifested as seizures or encephalopathy, have long been associated with roseola. However, the true prevalence of seizures complicating HHV-6 primary infection has been difficult to determine due to the wide variation in study designs and populations. A literature review encompassing studies from 1994 to 2004 found that 17% of children seeking medical attention with primary HHV-6 infection had seizures as a complication. Children from 12-15 months of age may be at particular risk with a documented rate of febrile seizures of 36% among children presenting to the ED with acute HHV-6B infection. Overall, primary HHV-6B infection accounts for approximately 25 to 33% of the febrile seizures observed in children less than 24 months of age in the emergency department setting.
