Abstract

The differential diagnosis, clinical course and treatment regimens of two cases, 42 and 43-year-old two males, presenting with changes of consciousness and personality and diagnosed as herpes simplex virus encephalitis by magnetic resonance, electroencephalography and cerebrospinal fluid examination are presented. Both of the cases were cured with acyclovir. Early diagnosis and treatment of encephalitis due to herpes simplex virus is very important for the prognosis. Herpes encephalitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cases presenting with changes in conscioasness and personality disorders.

Özet

Bilinç durumu ve kişilik değişiklikleri belirgin olan, temporal bölge tutulumuna ait bulgular saptanan, manyetik rezonans, elektro-ensefalogram ve beyin-omurilik sıvısı incelemesi ile Herpes simpleks virüs ensefaliti tanısı konulan ve asiklovir ile tedavi edilen 42 ve 43 yaşlarındaki iki erkek olguda ayırıcı tanı yaklaşımları, klinik izlem ve tedavi protokolleri değerlendirildi. Her iki olgu da asiklovir tedavisi ile iyileşti. Herpes simpleks virüs ensefalitinde erken tanı ve tedavi prognoz açısından son derece önemlidir. Nonspesifik bilinç değişikliği ve kişilik bozukluğu ile başvuran olguların ayırıcı tanısında bu klinik tablo da düşünülmelidir.
