Viral complications after acute hemorrhagic stroke
Abstract
The possibility of latent viral infection activation in mouse brain after autohemorrhagic stroke modelling were studied. Persistent herpes simplex virus infection activation and inflammatory changes in the mouse brain after acute hemorrhagic stroke were detected in the experiment. Timely PCR assay allows to reveal herpes viruses in biological fluids of patients with hemorrhagic stroke and to prevent the possibility of viral encephalitis appearance. Taking into account the results obtained permits to improve the treatment quality and to reduce patients with hemorrhagic stroke lethality.
