Key Clinical Message:
This case underlined the importance of having high suspicion for lobar hemorrhage as a rare but deadly complication of herpes simplex virus encephalitis and shone light upon the added complexity it poses on management on an already deadly disease.
Abstract:
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) encephalitis is the most common type of sporadic encephalitis that inflicts high rates of morbidity and mortality. Differentiating a progressing encephalitis syndrome from a lobar hemorrhage as a complication presents a challenge and requires great vigilance and insight on part of the treating physician.
