摘要

Background and Objectives:Various infectious and non-infectious factors can cause encephalitis in the central nervous system (CNS), the most important of which are viruses. Herpes viruses are one of the most important causes of encephalitis worldwide. PCR detected the virus on the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sample. The aim of this study was to set up an in-house PCR to identify herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) and determine the prevalence of these viruses in suspected children of encephalitis. Materials and Methods:This cross-sectional study was conducted on 160 suspected children with encephalitis cases referred to Dr. Kermanshahi Children Hospital, Kermanshah, Iran, from April to March 2021. CSF samples were extracted using a viral extraction kit, and a PCR was performed. The level of glucose and total protein of the samples was measured. Results:The total prevalence of HSV was 16.25. 17 samples were positive for HSV-1 (10.6), and 9 samples for HSV-2 (5.6). There was a significant correlation between glucose, total protein, and HSVPCR positive, but no significant correlation between age and HSVPCR positive results. Conclusion:Rapid diagnosis of a virus may reduce the hospitalization rate and the use of unnecessary therapies and crease mortality, morbidity, and disability in children. Results in this study show that the distribution of HSV types in children with encephalitis predominantly was type 1 compared with type 2.
