Benign recurrent aseptic (Mollaret's) meningitis is a rare disease of unknown aetiology. We report the case of a 27-year-old woman who experienced three episodes of lymphocytic meningitis. Human Simplex Virus (HSV) type 2 DNA was detected in the CSF by PCR amplification indicating the diagnosis of recurrent HSV type 2 meningitis. Our observation suggests that search of herpes virus DNA by PCR amplification on CSF may be useful in unexplained recurrent meningitis.
良性复发性无菌性(莫拉雷氏)脑膜炎是一种病因不明的罕见疾病。我们报告了一例27岁女性,她经历了三次淋巴细胞性脑膜炎发作。通过PCR扩增在脑脊液中检测到2型人单纯疱疹病毒(HSV)DNA,提示诊断为复发性2型HSV脑膜炎。我们的观察表明,通过PCR扩增在脑脊液中检测疱疹病毒DNA可能有助于不明原因的复发性脑膜炎的诊断。
