Herpes Simplex Encephalitis as a Potential Cause of Anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor Antibody Encephalitis
JAMA Neurol 71:344-346, DeSena, A.,et al, 2014
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We conclude that atypical cases of HS or other viral encephalitides should be investigated for concomitance of an autoimmune encephalitis. We suspect that the pathophysiologic mechanisms by which HS virus infects neurons produce a higher likelihood of contracting anti-NMDA receptor antibody encephalitis.
