    Journal: Zhonghua Shen Jing Jing Shen Ke Za Zhi; 1992 Jun; 25(3):143-5, 190. PubMed ID: 1395941.
    Abstract:
    5 cases of acute herpes simplex encephalitis were verified by specific IgG antibodies in cerebrospinal fluid and serum among 31 cases with 'sporadic encephalitis' within one year. All were treated with acyclovir, 4 with remarkable response--2 cured and 2 significantly recovered, except one died due to delayed specific treatment. The dosage of acyclovir used by the author was 5mg/kg/12-24 hours.
