Mollaret's meningitis is a rare form of recurrent viral meningitis typically caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). It is characterized by episodes of fever, headache, neck stiffness, and other meningitis symptoms that can recur over weeks or months. Unlike typical viral meningitis, Mollaret's may involve more severe symptoms and is often diagnosed through the analysis of cerebrospinal fluid, which shows elevated white blood cell counts and the presence of HSV DNA. While the condition can be distressing, most patients recover fully between episodes.
