Abstract

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is the human herpesvirus that leads to herpes simplex encephalitis or meningoencephalitis and is frequently lethal if not treated properly. Here, we described a case of a 21-year-old man who presented with acute confusion and abnormal behaviour and was later diagnosed with HSV-1 meningoencephalitis based on immunofluorescence and viral isolation from cerebrospinal fluid.
