Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been linked to severe pneumonia and systemic deterioration in humans. When antiviral drugs and antibodies are not available, it is preferable to choose early treatment methods to suppress cytokine storms. While an interleukin-6 receptor antagonist has proven effective in controlling cytokine storms in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia, it can also increase susceptibility to secondary infections, such as herpes simplex virus (HSV).

Article Synopsis
- Acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalopathy (AHLE) is a rare and severe neurological condition with unclear causes, high morbidity, and significant mortality rates, but a case of a surviving young girl demonstrates potential for recovery.
- A 13-year-old girl, after being treated for an upper respiratory infection, exhibited symptoms like drowsiness and received various treatments, including antiviral medications and IV immunoglobulin, which ultimately led to a diagnosis of AHLE.
- The report emphasizes the challenge of accurately diagnosing AHLE due to its similarity to other more common neurological diseases, highlighting the need for more research into this rare condition.
Insights into adjunctive corticosteroid therapy in fulminant herpes simplex virus encephalitis: case analysis with contrasting outcomes.

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) encephalitis, predominantly caused by HSV-1, presents with significant morbidity and mortality challenges. This research investigates the particular role of adjunctive corticosteroid therapy in fulminant HSV encephalitis through in-depth analyses of two contrasting cases. Corticosteroids show potential benefits to improve an exaggerated immune response and limit viral dissemination within the brain.
