Recurrent Meningitis
Recurrent viral meningitis
 Recurrent Viral Meningitis is most often due to Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Infections (HSV-2; called Mollaret meningitis) Typically when HSV-2 is the cause, patients have ≥ 3 episodes of fever, nuchal rigidity, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lymphocytic pleocytosis; each episode lasts from 2 to 5 days, then resolves spontaneously. Patients can also have other neurologic deficits (eg, altered sensorium, seizures, cranial nerve palsies), indicating meningoencephalitis. The cause is treated if possible. Mollaret meningitis is treated withacyclovir. Most patients recover fully.
