Introduction Herpes simplex virus encephalitis is one of the more common sporadic viral encephalitides with an estimated incidence of one case per half million individuals per year (1, 2), but the true incidence may be higher. Untreated it is associated with a mortality rate exceeding 70070 and a high morbidity amongst the survivors with only about 9070 returning to normal neurological function...

Background: From Gaya and adjoining regions, the trend in patients admitted with acute neurological illness was investigated. Illnesses were identified as sudden outbreaks of Japanese virus encephalitis (JE), Herpes simplex virus encephalitis (HSV-1&2), and other acute encephalitis syndrome (AES). Objective: In the current study, an investigation was carr...

Introduction We present a case of 15 year-old boy diagnosed with Unspecified Personality and Beheavioral Disorder Due to Brain Damage from Human Herpes Virus-6 Encephalitis. Objectives To describe an Organic Behavioral secondary brain damage (HHV-6) Encephalitis in 11 childand review recent literature, order improve clinical practice. Methods Clinical report brief literature. A bibliographic re...

Cerebellar disorders due to herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection are rare and always associated with herpes simplex encephalitis. We report 2 cases of severe primary acute cerebellitis caused by HSV type 1 that were identified by nested polymerase chain reaction performed on cerebrospinal fluid samples.

Until a few years ago, metastatic melanoma had a poor prognosis with limited treatment options. These therapeutics options and thereby median survival have increased obviously over 5 years with the arrival of immunotherapeutic drugs like ipilimumab, nivolumab, and pembrolizumab. Nowadays, ipilimumab is often used in patients with metastatic melanoma. In this paper, we report a case of a 68-year...

The incidence of herpes simplex virus (HSV) encephalitis exceeds that of other forms of acute viral encephalitis. It is widely acknowledged that the use of PCR amplification for the detection of HSV DNA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has increased our diagnostic sensitivity for this illness, leading to the diagnosis of HSV encephalitis in a wide range of clinical presentations. It is important to...

Encephalitis may be defined as “An acute inflammatory global neurologic dysfunction”, characterized by altered mental status with protracted clinical course and high risk of significant morbidity. Timely therapeutic intervention is paramount to insure a good outcome”. The most common endemic infectious encephalitis in immune-competent hosts involves several types of herpes virus infections, fre...

Relapsed herpes simplex virus (HSV) encephalitis after neurosurgery is a very rare condition. An 11-year-old boy suffered from relapsed HSV encephalitis five days after neurosurgery to remove the epileptogenic focus six years after prior HSV encephalitis. He was diagnosed with HSV encephalitis reactivation after positive HSV polymerase chain reaction results following a lumbar puncture, and thi...

Introduction. This study is determined with the high prevalence of encephalitis in children, as well severe course and possible disability. Herpes occurs almost half cases viral children. It known that changes on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) acute stage disease are detected more often than computed tomography (CT), but clarification this MRI needed. Objectives study. T o assess featur...

Herpes simplex infection of the CNS may occur as part of a generalized infection with visceral involvement or with the CNS alone involved. Aseptic meningitis due to herpes simplex is rare, but necrotizing encephalitis is being recognized with increasing frequency. The distribution of lesions within the CNS and the mode of spread to and within the CNS are discussed. Serological tests indicate th...
