title: Culture-proven herpes simplex type 2 meningitis associated with genital herpes. A case report.
abstract: Only 14 cases of culture-proven herpes simplex type 2 meningitis have been reported besides the one reported here. Although an uncommon complication of a common disease, herpes simplex type 2 meningitis should be recognized by gynecologists, for it has the potential for severe and chronic neurologic sequelae.
