    HHV-6 causes roseola infantum, a common childhood rash illness marked by a high fever for a few days followed by a rash. HHV-7 is similar but milder. HHV-8 can cause Kaposi's sarcoma, a rare cancer seen in some HIV/AIDS patients presenting as purple lesions on the skin. Herpesviruses are always named with double letters since only one strand of DNA is infectious. HHV-2 Epstein-Barr virus causes infectious mononucleosis presenting with an asthenic appearance.
