## Abstract The objectives of this study were to evaluate the reliability of herpes simplex virus (HSV) PCR testing in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for the detection of herpes simplex encephalitis. This was done by examining retrospectively the clinical follow‐up of a large group of patients tested ro

In a two-centre study, the routine DNA preparation and PCR amplification protocols were compared for herpes simplex virus (HSV) detection in cerebrospinal fluids (CSFs) of 43 patients with suspected herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE). The combined clinical, radiological and laboratory results indicat
Thirty-two cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from eighteen patients with confirmed herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) were assayed by an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the presence of viral antigens. The results are expressed as an antigen ratio distinguishing between herpes s
