Post-herpetic encephalitis cerebral abscess: Viral reactivation or latency site within central nervous system?

Abstract

Herpetic encephalitis results from central nervous system invasion by herpes simplex virus. We report the case of a man who developed a cerebral abscess fifteen months after initial Herpetic encephalitis. Retrospectively, antiviral should not have been associated with antibiotics during abscess episode, as transcriptomic analysis reported no viral reactivation.
