Otitis media is a common complication of RSV in infants. RSV has also been identified in patients with a variety of central nervous system disorders, such as meningitis and myelitis.

while on the other hand HSV may affect the cns if spreaded in an immune compromized & may cause viral mening but not as comman as RSV..

Plz correct if im wrong
