hi,  I was just discharged from the hospital after tx. for encephalitis of the brain.  I was on IV acyclovir for 2 wks.  How did I get it?  I did receive a shingles injection close to when I came down with this. Is it possible that this had anything t do with getting encephalitis?  Is this caused by the herpes simplex virus?  Do we all carry this in our systems?
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorNo this is not the case, the injection is nothing do with the encephalitis, the encephalitis mostly happens with the infection (Viral) and that is nothing to do with the substance you are taking, unless it might have found the way of transmission thorough the prick site have nice day.
