Herpes simplex virus meningoencephalitis (HSV ME) is a severe viral infection that affects the brain and surrounding tissues. It caused primarily by HSV type 1 (HSV-1) virus. This condition requires prompt recognition treatment due to its potential for significant morbidity mortality. We aim highlight importance of avoiding common diagnostic pitfalls in identifying meningoencephalitis, especial...
Introduction & Objective: The role and frequency of HHV-6 and HHV-7 in central nervous system (CNS) diseases of our children are unclear. The aim of this study was to search for the presence of HHV-6 & HHV-7 DNA-s in CSF samples in children with meningoencephalitis. Materials & Methods: In a cross- sectional study (2007-2009) done in the pediatric ward in Hazrat Rasoul hospital, Tehran...
UNLABELLED Cryptococcosis is caused by the opportunistic pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans or by the primary pathogen Cryptococcus gattii. Epidemiological studies suggest that patients infected with C. gattii mainly present with pulmonary disease, while those infected with C. neoformans commonly manifest meningoencephalitis. We compared the pathogenesis of the two species using the C. neoformans...
Unsuccessful Cyclosporine plus Prednisolone Therapy for Autoimmune Meningoencephalitis in Three Dogs
A 4-year-old female Maltese (case 1), a 9-year-old castrated male shih tzu (case 2) and 2-year-old female Pomeranian (case 3) presented with neurological signs, such as head tilt, ataxia, circling and paresis. The three cases were tentatively diagnosed as having meningoencephalitis of unknown etiology based on computed tomography scan and cerebrospinal fluid analysis. All patients were managed ...
Copper homeostasis is important for virulence of the fungus Cryptococcus neoformans, which can cause lethal meningoencephalitis in humans. Cryptococcus cells encounter high copper levels in the lung, where infection is initiated, and low copper levels in the brain. Here we demonstrate that two Cryptococcus copper transporters, Ctr1 and Ctr4, differentially influence fungal survival during pulmo...
Streptococcus agalactiae (Lancefield group B; GBS) is the causative agent of meningoencephalitis in fish, mastitis in cows, and neonatal sepsis in humans. Meningoencephalitis is a major health problem for tilapia farming and is responsible for high economic losses worldwide. Despite its importance, the genomic characteristics and the main molecular mechanisms involved in virulence of S. agalact...
The etiology of viral meningoencephalitis is frequently unidentified. Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and Zika (ZIKV) are known to affect the central nervous system should therefore be considered in diagnosis meningoencephalitis, as its outcome may influenced by etiologic agent, age, immunological condition patient. In this study, we aimed determine whether CHIKV ZIKV were etiological agents encephal...
Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) caused by free-living amebae Naegleria fowleri is a rare and fatal condition. A fatal case of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis was diagnosed in a 5-month-old infant who presented with the history of decrease breast feeding, fever, vomiting, and abnormal body movements. Trophozoites of Naegleria fowleri were detected in the direct microscopic examinat...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Meningoencephalitis can severely damage the developing brain. Preterms are more prone for nosocomial infections with pathogens other than Group B streptococci and Escherichia coli. In this report we focus on the deleterious clinical course and imaging characteristics of proven Bacillus cereus meningoencephalitis. METHODS We collected 3 cases of proven Bacillus cereus me...
Cryptococcus neoformans is commonly associated with meningoencephalitis in immunocompromised patients and occasionally in apparently healthy individuals. Duration and regimen of antifungal treatment vary depending on the nature of the host and extent of disease and CNS shunts are placed in persistently elevated intracranial pressures. Recurrence of infection after initial treatment is not uncom...
