Encephalitis due to herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1) has been described as a potential trigger for the development of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) autoimmune encephalitis within few days to months. Here, we report one such case of anti-NMDAR encephalitis which was triggered by ...
Encephalitis due to herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 is the most common sporadic form of fatal acute encephalitis in Western Europe and in the United States. The well known localizations of the...doi:10.1007/978-3-642-69720-3_40J. M. Boles...
CONCLUSIONS: We describe a patient who developed atypical encephalitis due to HSV-2 and peripheral facial palsy, which could also be related to the HSV-2. This case suggests that HSV-2 should be considered among the possible causes of atypical or brainstem encephalitis and that the PCR ...
Manifestations of viral encephalitis on MRI vary and some can be difficult to differentiate from cerebral infarction and brain tumor-like lesions, especially when there are multiple viral pathogens involved. We present a case of viral encephalitis caused by both Herpes simplex virus (HSV) type I ...

DNA of HSV type 1 or type 2 was directly identified and differentiated, by the use of both type-specific primes in the same reaction. The primer sequences were chosen in the region for HSV type 1, and in the region for HSV type 2. Only one case was due to the latter. In all but...
Laboratory findings for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens were correlated with clinical presentations and histories in 55 cases of encephalitis or meningitis due to herpes simplex virus (HSV), as determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)–based detection of HSV DNA. Sixteen patients (29%) had...
