Neurovirulence of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 isolates in diseases of the central nervous system 1990 .txt text/plain 3487 163 48 Herpes simplex virus (HSV) isolates derived from the central nervous system of ten patients with HSV-1-induced encephalitis, one patient with multiple sclerosis, and 14 patients with HSV-2-induced meningitis were investigated for neurovirulence by assaying the LD(50) after nose and intracerebral (i.c.) inoculation of mice. Vahlne t Herpes simplex virus (HSV) isolates derived from the central nervous system of ten patients with HSV-l-induced encephalitis, one patient with multiple sclerosis, and 14 patients with HSV-2-induced meningitis were investigated for neurovirnlence by assaying the LDs0 after nose and intracerebrai (i.c.) inoculation of mice. No correlation between high neurovirulence (defined as low LDs0 for both routes of infection) and replication in cell cultures of neuronal and non-neuronal cell lines was found, but the weakly neuruvirulent HSV-1 strain isolated from a patient with multiple sclerosis gave low replication yields. ./cache/cord-005057-deq5tv1d.txt ./txt/cord-005057-deq5tv1d.txt
