| Abstract: | A 7-y-old girl with genital herpes following sexual abuse presented with dysuria, fever and meningeal signs. Acyclovir (15 mg/kg/d for 10 d) was administered for severe genitourinary symptoms. The CSF culture was positive for HSV type 2. Complete resolution of all symptoms demonstrates that, as in adults, HSV-2 meningitis does not require high-dose or prolonged acyclovir therapy. |
