An approximately 1-year-old domestic rabbit showed severe neurologic signs with circling and turning somersaults. Histologically, a nonsuppurative meningoencephalitis with neuronal cell necrosis and numerous intranuclear inclusion bodies in neurons and glial cells was found. Electron microscopic examination revealed herpesvirus particles in affected cells. A human herpes simplex virus was ident...

abstract        background and objective: herpes simplex encephalitis is a life-threatening consequence of the central nervous system (cns) infection with herpes simplex virus (hsv). although it is a rare disease, mortality rates reach 70% in the absence of therapy and only a minority of individuals can return to normal function. the aim of this study was to determine possible correlation betwe...

background and objectives: encephalitis can cause a severe public health problem. the main aim of this research was to evaluate the medical laboratory results of patients with herpes simplex virus (hsv) encephalitis. materials and methods: diagnosis of encephalitis for these patients was firstly based on a clinical profile for herpes simplex encephalitis (hse), plus either a detected hsv1&2-dna...

background pcr is a molecular technique for herpes simplex virus (hsv) detection that can cause life-threatening infections such as encephalitis and keratitis. however, the main issues, false-negative results causing by pcr inhibitors, of this technique that reduce pcr efficiency. to overcome this problem, a competitive internal amplification control (iac) was constructed for conventional pcr u...
