Cases of tuberculous meningoencephalitis in Armenia and a role of the activation of human herpes virus-1 (HHV-1) infection have been investigated. HHV-1 can be an independent factor in the development of meningoencephalitis and a cofactor that produces cellular immunodeficiency in patients with atypical tuberculous meningoencephalitis.
