BACKGROUND: A pregnant 25-year-old woman at 32 weeks' gestation was admitted to an emergency unit after her husband had found her drowsy and with her tongue bitten. The day before admission, the patient had developed a fever of 39 degrees C, was suffering from headaches, was nauseated and had vomited. On admission, she had anterograde and retrograde amnesia, but no somatic neurological deficits were detected. INVESTIGATIONS: Routine laboratory testing, lumbar puncture, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, routine bacteriology, brain MRI, and polymerase chain reaction testing for neurotropic viruses including herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2. DIAGNOSIS: Maternal herpes simplex virus type 1 encephalitis. MANAGEMENT: Antiviral and anticonvulsive therapy, supportive treatment, and cesarean section. |
