    This case study details a rare, prolonged herpes-simplex encephalitis in a 58-year-old woman, highlighting brain stem involvement and respiratory complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Herpes-simplex encephalitis (HSE) is a severe neurological infection.
    • Biphasic disease courses can occur in HSE.
    • Brain stem involvement complicates HSE presentation.

    Observation:

    • A 58-year-old woman presented with an 87-day biphasic course of HSE.
    • Clinical, laboratory, and pathological findings were documented.
    • Respiratory disturbances were noted due to brain stem encephalitis.

    Findings:

    • The case illustrates a prolonged and complex HSE.
    • Patho-anatomical changes revealed significant brain stem encephalitis.
    • Biphasic disease course and respiratory compromise were key features.

    Implications:

    • Understanding brain stem encephalitis is crucial for managing HSE.
    • Early recognition of respiratory compromise is vital for patient outcomes.
    • This case adds to the understanding of rare HSE presentations.
