Herpes simplex virus tipo 1 como factor de riesgo asociado con la enfermedad de Alzheimer

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is ubiquitous, neurotropic, and the most common pathogenic cause of sporadic acute encephalitis in humans. Herpes simplex encephalitis is associated with a high mortality rate and significant neu-rological, neuropsychological, and neurobehavioral sequels. HSV-1 in...
