We reported a 59-year-old woman with four episodes of recurrent self-limited aseptic meningitis. Her episodes had resolved in 14-20 days without residural and all were marked clinically by acute headache, back pain, and nausea with fever. No concurrent systemic or genital symptoms or signs were present. CSF analysis performed on the third day of her fourth episode of recurrent meningitis showed the DNA of herpes simplex virus type 2 by means of the polymerase chain reaction method. Acyclovir therapy may be useful in a further possible occurrence of meningitis.
