A Novel Case Of Hhv-6 Meningoencephalitis In An Immunocompetent Adult, Justin Berkner, Kishan Patel

Rowan-Virtua Research Day

Our patient ultimately made a full recovery several days later with only some mild intermittent episodes of confusion. Currently there are no other case reports of HHV6 encephalitis in the adult population.
