SYNOPSISThe relationship between herpes simplex virus type 1 and mental retardation is explored by studying the antibody levels to this virus in a group of 86 severely and profoundly retarded adults. A tendency towards higher antibody levels is found in patients whose retardation is of unknown aetiology. The relationship of these observations to previous research findings and the possible significance of herpes simplex virus in the aetiology of mental retardation are discussed

Background TORCH is a group of organisms like Toxoplasma, Rubella, Cytomegalo virus and Herpes simplex virus. These groups of organisms causing infections in pregnant lady leads to various degree of adverse pregnancy outcomes in the form of spontaneous abortion, preterm delivery, intrauterine growth restriction, severe congenital defect with syndromic babies. So, to observe the relationship of TORCH infection in first trimester spontaneous miscarriage in our population and to treat them, this study was performed.Materials and Methods A total of 103 patients with spontaneous abortion meeting inclusion criteria were taken in the study. TORCH profile was sent for those patients and observed the sero-prevalance for IgM and IgG. Thereafter organism was identified and the results were interpreted.Results Out of total 103 patients enrolled 58.25 % of patients were sero-positive for TORCH complex. IgM or IgG Sero-positive for Toxoplasma, Rubella, Cytomegalo virus and Herpes Simplex virus were 11.65% /17.47% ;7.76% / 43.68%; 19.41% / 41.74% and 31.06% / 54.36% respectively.Conclusion In the present study on analyzing the association of TORCH antibodies in women with spontaneous abortion, infection with Herpes simplex virus was most commonly associated.Journal of Nobel Medical College Vol.5(2) 2016; 17-21

Abstract Background Acute retinal necrosis is considered a rare infectious uveitis. This condition is usually caused by varicella-zoster virus or herpes simplex virus. Acute retinal necrosis caused by co-infection with multiple viruses is extremely rare. Herein, we report a case of acute retinal necrosis caused by co-infection with herpes simplex virus (type I and II) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) in a natalizumab-treated patient due to multiple sclerosis. Case presentation An adult man presented with a complaint of decreased vision of the right eye from 12 days ago. He was a known case of multiple sclerosis receiving natalizumab. Examination of the right eye revealed severe conjunctival injection, fine diffuse keratic precipitates, 3 + anterior chamber and vitreous cells, elevated intraocular pressure (26 mmHg), a blurred optic disk with hemorrhagic patches, and occlusive vasculitis plus confluent necrotizing patches in the peripheral retina compatible with diagnosis of acute retinal necrosis. He underwent anterior chamber and vitreous tap, and real-time PCR detected HSV I & II and VZV on the vitreous specimen. A second PCR showed the same result. After neurological consultation, natalizumab was discontinued and intravenous acyclovir was started followed by oral acyclovir and oral prednisolone to control the disease, which was successful. Conclusions Although rare, multiple-viral infection should be considered in the physiopathology of acute retinal necrosis, especially in immunosuppressed patients.
