Abstract
A patient with simultaneous proctitis and meningitis due to herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-l) and type 2 (HSV-2) was extensively investigated. In both disease locations the infection was clinically evident and culture-proven. Analysis by sodium dodecylsulfatepolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of rectal isolates revealed both HSV-I and HSV-2. The cerebrospinal fluid harbored two apparently different strains of HSV-1, one of which was shown by restriction endonuclease analysis to be identical with the rectal isolate of HSV-1.Keywords
