摘要
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) are common viruses that are present in the general population. However, it is uncommon for both viruses to coincide at the same time and location. These viruses infect the nervous system to establish latency and have been associated with neurological disorders. We discuss a case of co-occurring VZV reactivation and recurrent HSV infection with subsequent VZV encephalitis following an insult to the neurologic system.
