Abstract

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) invades the central nervous system (CNS) and causes a series of inflammatory changes. When it mainly involves the brain parenchyma, it is called herpes simplex virus encephalitis (HSVE), which is the most common CNS viral infectious disease. The incidence of herpes simplex virus encephalitis abroad is 0.4–1/100000, accounting for 20–68% of all viral encephalitis. The virus most often attacks the temporal and frontal lobes and the limbic system and is also known as acute necrotizing encephalitis or hemorrhagic encephalitis because it often causes hemorrhagic necrosis and/or metabolic damage to the brain parenchyma.
