Unlabelled: Herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE), caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), is the most common cause of severe sporadic encephalitis worldwide. HSE is occasionally accompanied by the recurrence of clinical symptoms that usually occur a few weeks following the initial infection. According to recent studies, the recurrence can be due to a secondary autoimmune mechanism rather than the virus invasion.

Herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) and anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis are associated entities. On the contrary, although both are autoimmune diseases, the association of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and anti-NMDAR encephalitis is not well explained. Herein, we present consecutively developed post-herpetic anti-NMDAR encephalitis in a patient with the coexistence of NMOSD and Sjogren syndrome.

Encephalitis due to herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) was described as a potential trigger for the development of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAr) auto-immune encephalitis (AIE) within a few days to a few weeks after the infection. We assessed clinical, radiological, and biological diagnoses process, treatment response, and evolution. We report here cases of a 71-year-old man and a 57-year-old woman presenting anti-NMDAr AIE, respectively, 12 and 7 months after HSV-1 encephalitis.

Herpes simplex virus-1 has been identified as the trigger factor in certain cases of NMDA-receptor autoimmune encephalitis. We report on a 67-year-old female patient, who was severely affected by post-herpetic NMDA-receptor autoimmune encephalitis. Her symptoms did not improve under methylprednisolone pulse therapy and plasma exchange under acyclovir prophylaxis.
