Defects in genes of the Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) pathway are associated with susceptibility to herpes simplex virus type 1 encephalitis (HSE). We analyzed a cohort of 11 adult Italian patients in whom viral encephalitis developed. We detected 2 rare missense mutations in TLR3: 1 in a patient with HSE (p.Leu297Val) and 1 in a patient with varicella-zoster virus encephalitis (p.Leu199Phe). Both mutations are...
