B)paralysis.
C)encephalitis.
D)myocarditis.
E)kidney failure.

Accepted Answer

Encephalitis is a rare but serious complication of herpes simplex-1, which can cause inflammation of the brain and potentially permanent neurological damage. Shingles is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) and is not directly related to herpes simplex-1. Paralysis, myocarditis, and kidney failure are also not commonly associated with herpes simplex-1 infections.
