Detection of human herpesviruses in cerebrospinal fluids collected from patients suspected of neuroinfectious diseases

In conclusion, HHVs were associated with approximately 10% of neuroinfectious diseases in this cohort. VZV was the most common pathogen, probably due to the large number of VZV meningitis patients. In addition, patients with VZV-associated meningitis were significantly younger than patients with VZV-associated encephalitis.PMID:34970721 | DOI:10.1007/s13365-021-01040-5
