Abstract
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is the most commonly identified cause of infectious meningoencephalitis in Western countries. Previous studies showed that neurological defects can form during HSV meningoencephalitis, ranging from symptomatic epilepsy to mental and movement disorders. The recovery of Cognitive Mental Functions (CMF) in a patient who survived HSV meningoencephalitis was evaluated. The results were compared with MRI and EEG data. A follow-up observation of the patient was carried out for more than 1 year. During the observation period, the patient showed improvement of CMF, while MRI scans showed no observable improvement. Current neuropsychological methods give enough information for the assessment of CMF in patients after neurological infections and are essential for evaluating new treatment methods and monitoring of possible deterioration or relapse.
