Unfortunately yes!: Roseola infantum usually cause by herpes type 6, 7 etc , are viruses! same as getting cold sores ! you can have repeated infections like colds , aside from giving the parents lots of sleepless night because of the high fevers and subsequent rashes...It is fairly a benign virus illness! regards !

Twice: This common childhood affliction as triggered by 2 separate strains of a virus, one strain more than the other but both will trigger antibodies that prevent recurrence by that strain. This label is often applied without testing because it is a self healing "pattern" illness. It is often over diagnosed.
