Neurological infections caused by herpes simplex virus in adults. 1978

A Ferencz, and L Binder, and F Kovács, and G Káli, and A Pálfi, and I Hollós

Over a period of 33 months, 281 neuro-infections were tested for herpes simplex virus. In 26 cases herpes simplex virus was identified as the aetiological agent by isolation of the virus from the cerebrospinal fluid and by serological tests. The illness took the form of severe encephalitis in four cases, less severe encephalitis or meningoencephalitis in 12 cases, aseptic meningitis in seven cases, meningo-encephalitis with radiculitis in one case, ascending radiculomyelitis in one case and radiculitis in one case. The diagnostical and therapeutical problems of herpes simplex neuro-infections are discussed.

D008581 Meningitis Inflammation of the coverings of the brain and/or spinal cord, which consist of the PIA MATER; ARACHNOID; and DURA MATER. Infections (viral, bacterial, and fungal) are the most common causes of this condition, but subarachnoid hemorrhage (HEMORRHAGES, SUBARACHNOID), chemical irritation (chemical MENINGITIS), granulomatous conditions, neoplastic conditions (CARCINOMATOUS MENINGITIS), and other inflammatory conditions may produce this syndrome. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1994, Ch24, p6) Pachymeningitis,Meningitides,Pachymeningitides

D009500 Neutralization Tests The measurement of infection-blocking titer of ANTISERA by testing a series of dilutions for a given virus-antiserum interaction end-point, which is generally the dilution at which tissue cultures inoculated with the serum-virus mixtures demonstrate cytopathology (CPE) or the dilution at which 50% of test animals injected with serum-virus mixtures show infectivity (ID50) or die (LD50).

D011843 Radiculopathy Disease involving a spinal nerve root (see SPINAL NERVE ROOTS) which may result from compression related to INTERVERTEBRAL DISK DISPLACEMENT; SPINAL CORD INJURIES; SPINAL DISEASES; and other conditions. Clinical manifestations include radicular pain, weakness, and sensory loss referable to structures innervated by the involved nerve root.

D006561 Herpes Simplex A group of acute infections caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 or type 2 that is characterized by the development of one or more small fluid-filled vesicles with a raised erythematous base on the skin or mucous membrane. It occurs as a primary infection or recurs due to a reactivation of a latent infection. (Dorland, 27th ed.) Herpes Simplex Virus Infection
