The EEG in the acute stage of herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) can show a variety of abnormalities, including uni- or bilateral periodic sharp waves or attenuation of amplitude, focal or generalized slow waves or epileptiform discharges, or electrical seizures.

2024年1月19日 · Herpes simplex encephalitis is caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2). HSV-1 causes encephalitis in children (beyond the neonatal period) and adults, and it is the most common etiology for sporadic encephalitis worldwide. HSV-2 commonly causes encephalitis in neonates and the immunocompromised.

2024年12月23日 · Herpes simplex (HSV) encephalitis is the most common cause of fatal sporadic fulminant necrotizing viral encephalitis and has characteristic imaging findings. Two subtypes are recognized which differ in demographics, virus, and pattern of involvement.

2015年8月1日 · To confirm the previously identified EEG characteristics for HSV encephalitis and to determine the diagnostic and predictive value of electroencephalography (EEG) features for etiology and outcome of acute encephalitis in adults. In addition, we sought to investigate their independence from possible clinical confounders.

Herpes simplex virus encephalitis (HSVE) is a medical emergency associated with high mortality and morbidity. Definitive diagnosis is established by history, clinical examination, neuroimaging studies, supportive electroencephalogram (EEG) findings, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis.

2020年7月29日 · Electroencephalogram (EEG) is an important tool for the diagnosis of herpes simplex virus encephalitis (HSE). However, the diagnosis of non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) in HSE is challenging without the help of continuous video EEG (CVEEG), and whether EEG is a predictor of outcome remains controversial.

2023年2月23日 · Electroencephalography (EEG) is recommended for the practical approach to the diagnosis and prognosis of encephalitis. We aimed to investigate the prognostic value of standard EEG (std EEG) in adult patients with severe herpes simplex encephalitis.

1990年7月1日 · In HSV encephalitis, EEG abnormalities include non-specific diffuse high amplitude slow waves, sometimes with temporal lobe spike-and-wave activity and periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges (PLEDs).

The EEG in the acute stage of herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) can show a variety of abnormalities, including uni- or bilateral periodic sharp waves or attenuation of amplitude, focal or generalized slow waves or epileptiform discharges, or electrical seizures.

Lumbar puncture demonstrated elevated protein and white blood cells with positive herpes simplex virus (HSV) DNA. CEEG initially showed right-sided lateralized periodic discharges and focal seizures/status epilepticus with shifting predominance, and then later progressed to be more focal on the left, and then progressed to demonstrating more ...
