Amnesia in Acute Herpetic and Nonherpetic Encephalitis
Arch Neurol 53:972-978, Hokkanen,L.,et al, 1996
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The frequency of amnesia can reliably be evaluated only in consecutive series of patients.Previous literature,mainly case reports,may give the impression that global amnesia is a copy consequence of encephalitis.Our findings do not support that view.Furthermore,there are clear differences in the quality of the memory impairment between cases of acute encephalitis.Our findings suggest that amnesia as a consequence of encephalitis,even HSVE,should not be considered a uniform phenomenon.
