Viral Encephalitis
Abstract
VIRAL infections of the central nervous system (CNS) have attracted the attention of historians and physicians for millennia.1 , 2 With the exception of herpes simplex encephalitis,3 , 4 the specific causes of CNS syndromes of viral origin have been difficult and sometimes impossible to identify. With the advent of antiviral therapy, increased attention has focused on the prompt and specific diagnosis, pathogenesis, and treatment of viral infections of the CNS, especially herpes simplex encephalitis. This review will focus on the pathogenesis of such infections and the diagnostic approach to patients with presumed viral infections of the CNS. Although considerable emphasis will be placed . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
