A viral isolate obtained from peripheral blood lymphocytes of an infant with a nonspecific febrile syndrome was identified as human herpes‐virus 7 (HHV‐7) on the basis of PCR analysis of its DMA with one set of primers specific for HHV‐7. The correlation of HHV‐7 with the febrile episode affecting the infant is suggested. © 1995 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
