The present volume brings to a conclusion a massive series dealing with infectious diseases of man, the first survey of its kind undertaken in the German language in several decades. Some idea of the extent of this effort might be obtained from the fact that these ten-inch-high books occupy, in total, approximately seven inches of shelf space and contain more than twice the number of pages included in the classical volumes "Viral and Rickettsial Infections of Man" by Horsfall and Tamm and "Bacterial and Mycotic Infections of Man" by DuBos and Hirsch.

Herpes Simplex Virus 2

Herpes virus type 2 DNA was detected by PCR in the cerebrospinal fluid in a young woman presenting with headache, stiff neck and pleocytosis, and serological findings consistent with reactivation. Since she was exposed to ticks, Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis were excluded. Further investigation in an ongoing project, using PCR and sequencing of the amplified products, showed the presence ofRickettsia helveticain the cerebrospinal fluid. The bacteria were also isolated in Vero cell culture, and microimmunofluorescence confirmed the development of antibodies againstRickettsiaspp. with predominance of IgM reactivity consistent with recent infection. She was treated with antibiotics and improved rapidly. The patient could easily have been judged to have isolated herpes meningitis. Because Sweden and other European countries are endemic areas for rickettsioses, the paper reaffirms the importance of investigating for the presence of rickettsial infections in endemic areas in cases of meningitis of uncertain aetiology.
