ABSTRACT
In this case report, we describe the first PCR-confirmed case of HSV2 myeloradiculitis with a purely motor presentation, occurring in a 68-year-old liver transplant recipient. The patient reported ascending weakness with no sensory nor sphincteric symptoms, thereby resembling acute demyelinating inflammatory neuropathy, or Guillain-Barré syndrome. HSV2 was detected in cerebrospinal fluid by PCR, and the patient was successfully treated with intravenous Acyclovir.
