title: [The clinical characteristics of progressive focal epilepsy with a herpetic etiology].
abstract: Cases are described of chronic zoster encephalitis presenting with the leading progressive focal epilepsy syndrome. The clinical presentation of the trouble can include both general cerebral signs and those of the focal affection of the central nervous system only. The progressive course and duration of remission suggest to us a persisting infection manifesting against the background of immune deficiency.
