Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) inhibitors are widely used for the treatment of various inflammatory conditions. They are associated with an increased risk for infections. We report a case of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) encephalitis in a patient receiving etanercept and review the literature on TNF-alpha and TNF-alpha inhibitors, and their importance in the pathophysiology of herpes simplex encephalitis.
