Measles virus and subacute neurological disease: an unusual presentation of measles inclusion body encephalitis.

A 20-year-old girl developed a subacute neurological illness characterized by seizures and epilepsia partialis continua, which resulted in her death within 10 weeks of her first symptom.

Histopathology demonstrated the presence of dense infection ...

Subacute brain-stem encephalitis.

A 65 year old man developed progressive signs of pontine and medullary dysfunction with striking bilateral paralysis of lateral gaze, dysarthria, dysphagia, and ataxia. A respiratory death occurred seven months from the onset. Pathological examination revealed focal brain-stem changes of perivascular lymphocytic cuffing, microglial infiltration, glial nodules, and neuronophagia. No underlying m...
