Ihekwaba U et al. - Herpes virus reactivation is a well-known phenomenon rarely described in neurosurgery. Tje authors report a case of type 2 herpes simplex virus reactivation following neurosurgery of the posterior fossa. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis revealed a lymphocytic pleocytosis of over 200 106/l.
