Periodic sharp complexes in herpes simplex virus encephalitis: survival in an elderly man
Clinical EEG (Electroencephalography)
|January 1, 1987
Summary
Focal temporal periodic complexes in herpes simplex virus encephalitis (HSVE) may not indicate poor prognosis. Survival without deficits challenges the view of these complexes as solely markers of tissue injury.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Infectious Diseases
- Neurophysiology
Background:
- Focal temporal periodic complexes are typically linked to herpes simplex virus encephalitis (HSVE).
- The presence and resolution of these complexes have historically suggested a negative patient outcome.
