Human Herpesvirus 6-Associated Miller–Fisher Syndrome in a 5-Year-Old Child: A Case-Based Narrative Review of Pediatric Cases with Infectious Triggers
This case raises the hypothesis that HHV-6 may represent a potential post-infectious association in pediatric MFS. The review findings indicate that pediatric MFS generally follows infection, responds well to immunotherapy, and has an excellent prognosis. Viral testing may be considered in selected, hypothesis-generating contexts in atypical or seronegative pediatric MFS presentations.
