Characteristics, management and outcome of Herpes Simplex and Varicella-Zoster virus encephalitis: a multicenter prospective cohort study

CONCLUSION: HSVE and VZVE are distinct in clinical presentation, outcome, and prognostic factors. The impact of early ACV initiation was more apparent for HSVE than for VZVE, however, this could be due to VZVE smaller sample size and lower outcome rate leading to low statistical power, or due to potential distinct IE pathophysiology.PMID:38527616 | DOI:10.1016/j.cmi.2024.03.017
