Abstrakt: An inverse correlation was shown between the activity of natural killer cells (NKC) and the activated infection to herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1 and HSV-2. There was a significant reduction in CD56+ cells in patients who had a history of a concomitance of pulmonary tuberculosis and HSV-2 infection. In patients with tuberculosis, the decreased activity of NKC may activate HSV-1 infection, with its further involvement as an independent factor in the development of meningoencephalitis.
