Herpesviruses are often found in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) along with EBV. After eradication of HSV in CSF in this case, a positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to EBV in CSF remained along with a severe clinical picture (segmental myoclonus and Klüver-Bucy syndrome) and worsening of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. Neurological and psychological improvement occurred after treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin. © 2013 Versita Warsaw and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. | URI: | https://open.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/9015 | ISSN: | 18951058 | DOI: | 10.2478/s11536-012-0116-7 |
