Abstract		In the past decade, the family circle of human herpesviruses (HHV) has expanded to include three new members: HHV-6, -7, and -8. Although each was initially discovered in healthy adults, their reputation, relevance, and renitence begin in infancy. HHV-6 and HHV-7 have been associated with short febrile illnesses and the childhood exanthematous disease, exanthema subitum. HHV-8 is linked to the etiopathogenesis of Kaposis's sarcoma, multicentric Castleman's disease, and primary effusion lymphoma. This review summarizes the facts about the newer herpesviruses and discusses their possible association with different autoimmune and neoplastic illnesses.
