Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: MELAS syndrome (mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke like episodes) is a mitochondrial disease related to the mitochondrial DNA mutation. The tRNALeu(UUR) mutation at the base pair 3234 is associated to 80% of cases of MELAS syndrome. The onset with the stroke like episodes is often before the age 40. Herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) presents as acute episodes of...
