We review here infections of both peripheral and central nervous system caused by herpes viruses. To the most important entities one should classify: herpetic encephalitides caused by Herpes simplex virus type I and II, encephalitides caused by varicella-zoster virus, encephalitis in the course of infectious mononucleosis (the Epstein-Barr virus) and encephalitides caused by cytomegalia wirus and herpes B virus.
