Herpes simplex virus type 2 meningitis without genital lesions: an immunoblot study

D Boucquey et al. J Neurol. 1990 Aug.

Abstract

Two sexually active female patients presented with acute meningitis. The CSF abnormalities were severe and persistent. In spite of the absence of genital lesions, serological studies revealed a primary infection by herpes simplex virus type 2. An immunoblot study revealed intrathecal synthesis of anti-herpes antibodies early in the course of the disease.
