“Having a sHHV diagnosis (N = 119) was associated with longitudinal reductions in white matter volume (annual additional rate of change -0.34 cm3/y; p = 0.035)”
None of its findings points the other way.

What did studies of Symptomatic herpes virus infection find?
3Studies of Symptomatic herpes virus infection measured 3 outcomes; the most studied are GFAP (1 study), attention (1) and white matter volume (1).
GFAP

1 study
GFAP
upin humans1
Symptomatic herpes virus infection increases GFAP in humans.
“In addition, sHHV diagnosis was associated with elevated plasma GFAP, but not related to Aβ42/40 and NfL levels.”

Attention
downin humans1
Symptomatic herpes virus infection impairs attention in humans (-0.01 Z-score/year, p = 0.008).
“sHHV diagnosis was associated with accelerated longitudinal declines in attention (annual additional rate of change -0.01 Z-score/year; p = 0.008).”

Symptomatic herpes virus infection decreases white matter volume in humans (-0.34 cm3/y, p = 0.035).
