  • Title: Recurrent HSV-2 meningitis in a 9-year-old girl.
    Author: Kumar S, Kumar S, Kohlhoff SA.
    Journal: Scand J Infect Dis; 2006; 38(6-7):570-2. PubMed ID: 16798717.
    Abstract:
    While HSV-2 meningitis has been described in prepubertal children in the context of sexual abuse, to the best of our knowledge recurrent episodes have not been described in this population. We report a 9-y-old girl with recurrent HSV-2 meningitis presenting as aseptic meningitis without any evidence of genital herpes. A high index of suspicion for this condition would be needed to make a diagnosis in this age group, which in turn would guide further therapeutic decisions.
