TI  - Prevalence of herpes simplex virus (types 1 and 2), varicella-zoster virus, 
      cytomegalovirus, and human herpesvirus 6 and 7 DNA in cerebrospinal fluid of 
      Middle Eastern patients with encephalitis.
PG  - 4172-4
AB  - HSV-1 DNA was detected in 32 (30%) of 106 cerebrospinal fluid samples from 
      patients with encephalitis. Cytomegalovirus, varicella-zoster virus, and human 
      herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) DNAs were each detected in three patients (3%); herpes 
      simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) and HHV-7 PCRs were negative. HSV detection was 
      associated with seizure (P = 0.02), especially focal seizure (P = 0.0002), and 
      pathological computed tomography (P = 0.02) with focal lesions (P = 0.0004).
