GUTIERREZ SANCHEZ, Aída Mª et al. Importance of early diagnosis and treatment of herpetic encephalitis. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.87, pp.133-138. Epub 24-Ene-2022. ISSN 1139-7632.
Abstract
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) causes acute necrotizing encephalitis, typically affecting the temporal lobe. The existence of a specific antiviral drug as well as the use of adjuvant medication such as corticotherapy, have improved the prognosis of severe infections. The delay in the start of treatment with acyclovir is a factor clearly related to poor evolution, as well as short treatment guidelines that have been associated with an increased risk of recurrence.
