[Postoperative herpetic meningoencephalitis after lumbar surgery: a case report].
Annales francaises d'anesthesie et de reanimation(2010)
Abstract
We report a case of a patient with an herpetic meningoencephalitis complicating lumbar surgery. A combination of factors like a postoperative sepsis, an abnormal MRI, and a positive viral PCR and culture made the diagnosis. A prolonged acyclovir treatment was employed with satisfactory results. This case remembers us the possibility of herpes reactivation in a stressful situation (including surgical stress).
