## 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 followβup of a large group of patients tested ro
## Abstract The early detection of herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) represents a major problem in viral diagnostics. We have now established a test system based on PCR for the specific amplification of HSVβDNA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples followed by oligonucleotide hybridization. The tes
Five cases of apparent relapse of herpes encephalitis were investigated. All patients recovered after antiviral and corticosteroid therapy. Samples of CSF taken from the patients at intervals through the initial and subsequent encephalitic episode were examined. PCR amplification of a 351 bp sequenc
