New research shows neonatal HSV infections may lead to long-term cognitive impairment
Summary: Very early exposure to even a very small dose of herpes simplex virus (HSV) in infant mice can lead to cognitive decline later in life, according to new findings.
Key points
- Very early exposure to even a very small dose of herpes simplex virus (HSV) in infant mice can lead to cognitive decline later in life, according to new findings.
- This is significant because of emerging data in human studies showing an association between HSV and Alzheimer's disease in humans.
