  • Title: Multiple strokes associated with herpes simplex virus type-2 infection: case report.
    Author: Joshi P.
    Journal: J Neurovirol; 2016 Apr; 22(2):251-3. PubMed ID: 26443565.
    Abstract:
    Herpes simplex virus (HSV) type-2 is known to cause meningitis and usually runs a benign course. Association of such infection with vasculitis of the central nervous system is not well known. Presented here is a case initially diagnosed as aseptic meningitis that subsequently evolved as stroke and exhibited angiographic evidence of widespread vasculitis of the intracranial vessels in association with a positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for HSV-2 in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
