Summary
The three suspected cases of HSV encephalitis who still survive were reported.
Case 1, a 8 months old girl, and case 2 of 8 years 11 months old girl were diagnosed with basis of clinical findings and clinical course, serological demonstration of greater than four‐fold rises in complement fixing antibody and non‐CRN antibody, significant rise in CRN antibody (CRN/non‐CRN) and tests which could rule out other common viral origin
Case 3 was diagnosed by isolation of virus from C.S.F. obtained at intraventricular puncture and by a significant rise in antibody (CF antibody, non‐CRN and CRN antibody).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
