ABSTRACT

Herpetic encephalitis caused between 5% and 10% of total encephalitis. The clinic feature is fever, neck stiffness, and neurological symptoms. Serology and imaging tests are vital for diagnosis, but occasionally may be normal. Due to that, when the diagnosis is suspected, physicians need to initiate the treatment as soon as possible to avoid possible complications. A propos of a case report, we will do a review about the utility of various diagnostic tests and techniques, including the magnetic resonance spectroscopy, which may be useful for differential diagnosis with other processes.
