Abstract
Mollaret's meningitis is a recurrent meningitis, usually caused by Herpes simplex virus type 2. Symptoms are typical for meningitis, but other causes for recurrent and chronic meningitis have to be excluded in the cerebrospinal fluid. Usually Mollaret's meningitis is a benign form of...

Abstract
We report a case of acute urinary retention with meningoradiculoneuritis resulting from coinfection with varicella-zoster virus (VZV), HIV, and hepatitis B virus (HBV). The case is discussed in the context of other neurological syndromes associated with VZV and HIV infections, and of other viral cau...

Meningitis and a febrile vomiting illness caused by echovirus type 4, Northern Territory, Australia.
Abstract
We describe the epidemiology of 95 laboratory-confirmed meningitis cases and conclude that the epidemic fever and vomiting syndrome was caused by the same enterovirus. Nucleotide sequencing of the whole genome verified this enterovirus (AUS250G) as a strain of echovirus type 4. Viral protein 1 nucle...

Abstract
Viral infections of CNS are difficult to diagnose, especially in an early phase. In diagnosis, beside the examination of the cerebrospinal fluid, many other diagnostic tools are used, such a serological tests (in cases with TBE suspicion), PCR (in cases with CMV, VZV, HSV, WNV, enteroviruses infecti...

This article provides an overview of meningitis and meningococcal septicaemia, which can have devastating effects. Nurses working in acute and primary care must be able to recognise the causes and symptoms of these conditions, and have up-to-date knowledge of treatment, prevention and potential afte...

Abstract
We found: VZV in 13, HSV-1 in 12, EBV in 6, HHV-6 in 4, and HSV-2 in 4. Co-infections of EBV and HSV-2, HSV-1 and HSV-2, HSV-1 and VZV were also disclosed in four cases. In addition, two patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome had HCMV and one showed HHV6 positivity, two patients with myelitis / poly...

Abstract
We report varicella-zoster virus (VZV) meningitis in a healthy adult woman with no antecedent rash and with hypoglycorrhachia. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination revealed the presence of VZV DNA, anti-VZV immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody, and intrathecal production of anti-VZV IgG antibody.

Abstract
HPeV was detected in 14 CSF samples obtained exclusively from young infants (age, <3 months) with sepsis or pyrexia. The frequency of detection of HPeVs varied greatly by year, with the highest frequency (7.2%) noted in 2008 exceeding that of HEVs. Direct typing of CSF samples revealed that all infe...

Abstract
Detection of echovirus 30 in CSF and the epidemiological presentation of cases enabled determination of the etiology of the outbreak. This finding coincided in time with other outbreaks of echovirus 30 in Spain, a fact that may explain the epidemic situation in the Valencian Community during 2006. E...

In middle and eastern European countries, tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is one of the most important human infections of the central nervous system. TBE virus (TBEV) is mainly transmitted by tick bites and rarely by unpasteurized milk. In European countries, TBE presents as meningitis in about 50% o...

Abstract
HPeV was found in cerebrospinal fluid samples from 33 (4.6%) of the children. Yearly prevalence of HPeV in cerebrospinal fluid varied remarkably: 8.2% in 2004, 0.4% in 2005, and 5.7% in 2006. EV was detected in 14% (108 of 761 samples), with no variation in yearly prevalence. Children with HPeV in c...
