This report presents a case of chronic herpes simplex virus encephalitis in a 6-year-old female. Diagnosis was based on the detection of herpes simplex virus deoxyribonucleic acid by polymerase chain reaction in combination with the cerebrospinal fluid/serum ratio of herpes simplex virus-specific immunoglobulin G, the presence of herpes simplex virus-specific oligoclonal immunoglobulin G bands in cerebrospinal fluid, and calcifications in the temporal regions found on cerebral computed tomographic scan. Prolonged antiviral therapy was beneficial to later mental development

    Hourly analysis of cerebrospinal fluid glucose shows large diurnal fluctuations

    Item does not contain fulltextCerebrospinal fluid analysis is important in the diagnostics of many neurological disorders. Since the influence of food intake on the cerebrospinal fluid glucose concentration and the cerebrospinal fluid/plasma glucose ratio is largely unknown, we studied fluctuations in these parameters in healthy adult volunteers during a period of 36 h. Our observations show large physiological fluctuations of cerebrospinal fluid glucose and the cerebrospinal fluid/plasma glucose ratio, and their relation to food intake. These findings provide novel insights into the physiology of cerebral processes dependent on glucose levels such as energy formation (e.g. glycolysis), enzymatic reactions (e.g. glycosylation), and non-enzymatic reactions (e.g. advanced endproduct glycation)

Although the patients initially responded to monotherapy with methylprednisolone, intravenous immunoglobulins, or rituximab, they manifested persistent neurologic deficits and relapsing signs. Treatment with rituximab in combination with intravenous immunoglobulin, however, resulted in significant longterm clinical improvement
