Abstract:
A total of 125 children with acute infections were examined for herpetic infection, using the conventional viroserological techniques, as well as new methods for rapid diagnosis: the immune competition and immune hemadsorption tests. Thorough pathomorphological examination was carried out in lethal cases. The diagnosis was confirmed in 24 cases. The latter were divided into three groups: (1) herpetic encephalitides (n = 15), serous meningitis (n = 1), and meningomyeloradiculoneuritis (n = 1); (2) involvement of the nervous system as a result of exacerbation of latent herpetic infection in suppurative meningitides (n = 5); (3) persistence of the herpes virus in other neuroinfections (n = 2). Excerpts from the case reports, and electroencephalographic and pathomorphological findings are presented.
