title: Meningoradiculopathy Associated with Human Herpesvirus 7-A Virus with Potential to Cause Severe Neurologic Disease with Sequelae.
abstract: We present a case report of a meningoradiculopathy associated with human herpesvirus 7, with long-term motor neurologic sequelae. It is important to consider human herpesvirus 7 as a potential pathogen of severe neurologic disease and sequelae in immunocompetent children, especially in older patients presenting neurologic signs.
