A rare case of human herpesvirus 6 meningitis was diagnosed in an immunocompetent adult, emphasizing the need for awareness.
Cerebrospinal fluid analysis confirmed HHV-6 infection, and neuroimaging indicated leptomeningeal enhancement.
This report includes findings on potential predisposing factors, such as traumatic brain injury and cerebral cavernous malformation.
Further studies are needed to explore the link between blood-brain barrier dysfunction and HHV-6 infection in the central nervous system.
