ABSTRACT
UNLABELLED In children, viral meningitis is usually caused by Enteroviruses. Herpes simplex viruses (HSV) are known to be a cause of meningo-encephalitis. HSV-2 has been reported to cause recurrent meningitis (Mollaret's meningitis) in adults. CASE REPORT We report the case of a three-year-old girl with HSV-1 meningitis, whose evolution with treatment by aciclovir was good. CONCLUSION:
HSV-1 has rarely been reported as a cause of isolated aseptic meningitis in children. Primary phase of herpes simplex virus infection is not usually associated with neurologic complications.
