Herpes simplex is a common human pathogen that has rare but severe manifestations including encephalitis.
A 44-year-old man underwent uneventful resection of an acoustic neuroma. Postoperatively, he developed swinging pyrexia, vomiting, and episodic confusion. Analysis of cerebrospinal fluid showed a lymphocytosis, and polymerase chain reaction revealed herpes simplex DNA. After treatment of herpes encephalitis with acyclovir, the patient made a good recovery.
Herpes encephalitis is a rare complication of neurosurgical procedures, and the most likely etiology is reactivation of latent infection from manipulation of cranial nerves.
单纯疱疹是一种常见的人类病原体，有罕见但严重的表现，包括脑炎。
一名44岁男性顺利接受了听神经瘤切除术。术后，他出现了波动性发热、呕吐和发作性意识模糊。脑脊液分析显示淋巴细胞增多，聚合酶链反应检测出单纯疱疹病毒DNA。用阿昔洛韦治疗疱疹性脑炎后，患者恢复良好。
疱疹性脑炎是神经外科手术的一种罕见并发症，最可能的病因是因颅神经操作导致潜伏感染激活。
