Emerging infectious diseases, 2009•pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.govWe found the prevalence of recurrent lymphocytic meningitis associated with herpes simplex
virus type 2 (HSV-2) was 2.2/100,000 population in Finland during 1996–2006, higher than
previous estimates. PCR was most sensitive in detecting HSV-2 DNA from cerebrospinal
fluid if the sample was taken 2–5 days after symptom onset.
