Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 in Brain and Risk of Alzheimer's Disease
Lancet 349:241-244, Itzhaki,R.F.,et al, 1997
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
These findings suggest that the combination of HSY1 in brain and carriage of an APOE-e4 allele is a strong risk factor for AD,whereas either of these features alone does not increase the risk of AD.The findings in people with cold sores support our hypothesis that APOE-e4 and HSV1 together are damaging in the nervous system.
