Herpes simplex retinitis and encephalitis in an adult
J. N. Bloom, J. I. Katz and H. E. Kaufman
A 17-year-old girl developed a viral encephalitis that was followed by
massive exudative retinal detachments in both eyes. A diagnosis of herpes
simplex encephalitis and retinitis was made as a result of finding rising
herpes simplex viral titers. An examination of the patient's cell-mediated
immune system showed it to be grossly intact.
