“It’s All in Your Mind”
Patient’s nausea and vomiting persisted for several more weeks. Patient returns to the hospital– Decreased appetite, weight loss, epigastric pain,
weakness and 8-9 episodes of vomiting per day

“It’s All in Your Mind”
Within 3 days of admission she developed
right sided ear pain, difficulty swallowing and
gait imbalance
Episodes of hypoxia and hypotension
necessitated intubation and transfer to MICU
– O2 levels dropping into the low 80%s
Neurologic exam
– Periods of agitation alternating with stupor, ocular
bobbing, difficulty moving both eyes to the left,
absent gag reflex, right sided paralysis and right
Babinski’s sign 5

CSF
– 15 WBC (93% lymphs)
– 18 RBC
– Protein 26
– Glucose 75
– Gram stain – No neutrophils, no bacteria
– Routine, fungus, AFB cultures, CSF VDRL -
negative
With worsening symptoms original brain
MRI was reevaluated8

HSV Encephalitis - History
1940
1950 1970
1960 1980
1990
1941 – Intranuclear inclusion bodies first demonstrated in brain of neonate with encephalitis
1941 – HSV first isolated from brain tissue
1944 – First adult case of HSE reported
1960s – Two antigenic types of HSV
1990 – First published detection of HSV in CSF by PCR

HSV Encephalitis - Epidemiology
Most common cause of acute, sporadic viral encephalitis in US (10-20%)
Age distribution: biphasic (5-30 yrs and > 50 yrs)
HSV-1 causes > 95% of cases
Incidence: 3 per 100,000 persons per year
Atypical presentations reported in 20% of HSE

HSV Encephalitis - Pathogenesis
Adult – Neuronal spread (access to brain via olfactory or trigeminal nerves)– Caused by primary (1/3) and reactivated (2/3)
infection
• ? Reactivation of virus directly within the CNS
Neonate – Hematogenous spread (virus gains access to neuronal tissue by diffusing through the blood-brain barrier or by infecting the endothelial cells in the blood vessels)
Typical pathology – acute inflammation/ hemorrhage and edema in the temporal lobes

HSV Encephalitis – Clinical
Clinical presentation – non specific
Focal encephalopathic process
– Altered mental status/decreased consciousness
with focal neurologic findings
– CSF pleocytosis and proteinosis
– Focal MRI, CT or EEG findings
Cutaneous lesion rare (except neonates)
Mortality without treatment – 70%
~ 20% of patients who survive HSV encephalitis
have severe, debilitating sequelae14

HSV Encephalitis - Diagnostics
CSF – Non-diagnostic– Elevated CSF WBC (average 100 cells/ L)
– Elevated protein (average 100 mg/dL)
– Presence or absence of RBC not diagnostic
– 5-10% of patients have normal CSF
Histology – Low yield
Culture– Brain biopsy – Sensitive and specific
• Morbidity associated with procedure
• Potential for false negatives (sampling)
– CSF – Positive in < 4% of patients (Not useful)15
![Page 16: JAM 4-10 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050910/5695d0c21a28ab9b0293bd8a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
HSV Encephalitis - Diagnostics
Serology– Serum – not sensitive or specific
– CSF – 4 fold rise in titer may not be seen for 2-3 weeks
PCR – Diagnostic method of choice– Sensitivity 95-100%, specificity 98%
– HSV DNA in 80% of samples after 1 week of therapy
– Small amount of sample
– Rapid TAT
– Can differentiate HSV-1 and HSV-216

HSV Encephalitis - Therapy
IV acyclovir x 14-21 days
– Competes as a substrate for viral DNA
polymerase and halts DNA synthesis
– Most effective when given early in the course
of infection
– Should be initiated when there is clinical
suspicion of encephalitis
Reduction in mortality from >70% to ~
20%

“It’s All in Your Mind”
Patient treated with IV acyclovir
– Patient became alert, nausea and vomiting
dissipated
Required tracheostomy – airway management
Residual positional imbalance and dysphagia
At the time of hospital discharge
– Several residual neurological deficits –severe
positional imbalance and dysphagia
– Inability to swallow required the placement of a
gastrostomy tube for enteral feeding
– She was discharged to a rehabilitation facility 18
