Figure 1 Diagnostic algorithm for management of patients with suspected HSE (reproduced, with permission, from J Neurol Neurosurg Psychlatry 1996; 61: 339–45). As patients may present with raised intracranial pressure, immediate lumbar puncture may not be possible. In these circumstances, commencement of acyclovir therapy prior to lumbar puncture is warranted.
