Key Words Acyclovir-resistant herpes encephalitis; Recurrence; Immunocompromised status; Neurosurgical interventions; Treatment; Case report
Core Tip Acyclovir-resistant herpes simplex virus strains have emerged and gradually increased. We report the first case of acyclovir-resistant herpes encephalitis (ARHE) recurring in an immunocompromised adult patient without neurosurgical interventions. Clinicians should recognize this condition because treatment for ARHE is limited, and it often develops into severe herpes disease that is refractory to antiviral drug therapy. In addition, ARHE recurred in the patient following remission; therefore, it is necessary to discuss the length of the treatment period. There is no established standard treatment for recurrence cases; therefore, accumulation of evidence is needed.
