After 3 weeks of treatment, the cell count increased again. After repeated treatment with prednisone and ganciclovir, it gradually decreased to normal level. b On the first day of admission, the CSF protein content was increased, and then decreased slowly after treatment. c On the first day of admission, the CSF IgG index was increased progressively, peaked at 4 weeks after admission, and decreased gradually after treatment. d On the first day of admission, CSF HSV-1 IgG was increased progressively, peaked at 4 weeks after admission, and decreased gradually after treatment. e The level of blood CK increased 2 weeks after admission, was maintained at a high level in the following 1 week, and decreased to normal level in the following 2 weeks. f The level of urine myosin increased obviously 2 weeks after admission, was maintained at a high level in the following 1 week and decreased to normal level in the following 2 weeks
