Morphological and cytochemical studies on lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCM) virus was observed by electron microscopy in thin sections of infected tissue cultures. The particles were pleomorphic and varied greatly in size. The smaller particles (50 to 200 nm) appeared to be spherical, whereas the largest (over 200 nm) were often cup-shaped. All particles contained one to eight or more electron-dense granules which were removed by ribonuclease. The particles were formed by budding from the plasma membrane and appeared to have spikes. The morphological evidence suggests that LCM should be considered as belonging to the presently unclassified group of lipoprotein-enveloped ribonucleic acid viruses.

We report congenital microencephaly caused by infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus in the fetus of a 29-year-old pregnant women at 23 weeks' gestation. The diagnosis was made by ultrasonography and negative results for other agents and confirmed by a positive PCR result for lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus in an amniotic fluid sample.
