Abstract

Microbiological testing in general and in the setting of central nervous system (CNS) infection in particular are often excessive, leading to superfluous laboratory work and costs. In this regard, restrictive criteria, named Reller criteria, have been developed to reduce unnecessary CSF herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) PCR testing when suspecting encephalitis.
