Abstrakt: In 14 observations of acute meningoencephalitis in children mainly under 3 years of the age, data pointing to an etiological role of herpes simplex type I virus, were obtained on laboratory examination. Six children died, and in the rest 8 children who survived gross residua were observed. The morphological picture showed extensive colliquation necroses in the parietal, temporal, and less frequently, in occipital lobes and the Varolian pons. In 4 cases out of 6 intranuclear inclusions were detected. The incidence of herpetic encephalitis was 16%.
