## Abstract A quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was evaluated retrospectively on 92 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from 29 patients with herpes simplex virus (HSV) encephalitis with the aim to study if the concentration of HSV genomes can be used as a prognostic marker and for m

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
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
