Few reports describe the reactivation of latent herpes simplex virus causing encephalitis (HSVE) in patients undergoing brain radiation therapy and a concomitant steroid regimen. The role for steroid use in the treatment of patients with HSVE has not been fully elucidated. We report the case of a female patient immunosuppressed by steroids and brain radiation who developed HSVE and responded to acyclovir and dexamethasone.
鲜有报告描述在接受脑部放射治疗并同时使用类固醇疗法的患者中，潜伏的单纯疱疹病毒引发脑炎（HSVE）再激活的情况。类固醇在HSVE患者治疗中的作用尚未完全阐明。我们报告了一例女性患者，该患者因类固醇和脑部放射治疗而免疫抑制，发生了HSVE，并对阿昔洛韦和地塞米松有反应。
