Abstract
Larsen JK, Melgaard B (Department of Neurology, Centralsygehuset, Slagelse, Denmark). Simultaneous neuroinfection with cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus in an immunocompetent adult. An immunocompetent adult developed Guillain‐Barré Syndrome and encephalitis simultaneously. Serological and cerebrospinal fluid analyses provided evidence of both cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus infections. The patient recovered with only moderate sequelae following acyclovir treatment.Keywords
