Herpes simplex virus reactivation after subtotal hemispherectomy in a pediatric patient

The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal

Abstract

We report herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) in a toddler after a subtotal hemispherectomy for seizures related to HSE 16 months earlier. Herpes simplex virus reactivation in the cerebrospinal fluid shortly after treatment of HSE has been described, but is extremely rare in other situations. HSE reactivation is a potential complication of epilepsy surgery after HSE in children.
