## 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

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
A herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV 2) etiology was sought in 93 consecutive cases of herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) in immunocompetent post neonate patients. Antibodies to HSV 2 glycoprotein G antigen were determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and HSV 2 DNA in cerebrospinal f
